(2) Why did staff fail to submit timesheets.
(3) Which staff failed to submit timesheets.
(4) How many staff failed to submit timesheets at all.
Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The data used by the Auditor-General was taken from an active database that continued to be updated with timesheet information after the Audit. It is therefore not possible to recreate the raw data used by the Auditor-General in order to respond to this question.
(2) In most cases staff had prepared timesheets, but, as found by the Auditor-General “Internal control over submission of attendance and leave forms, particularly by staff of some Ministers was inadequate.”
(3) Under the provisions of the Privacy Act, personal information of this nature cannot be released.
(4) See responses to questions (1) and (2).
Legislative Assembly—members’ staff timesheets
(Question No 2211)
Mr Coe asked the Chief Minister, upon notice, on 29 March 2012:
(1) In relation to page 5 of the Auditor-General’s Administration of employment issues for staff of Members of the Legislative Assembly performance audit report which noted that “Negative balances in TOIL were also noted on some final timesheets, although there was no provision for a negative TOIL balance. The overpayments may not have been recovered”, which staff had negative toil.
(2) Was it staff who worked on the 2008 Australian Labor Party (ALP) campaign.
(3) What was the extent of the overpayment.
(4) Was the current president of the ALP one of the staff involved.
(5) Was the overpayment recovered.
Ms Gallagher: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The Auditor-General’s report does not specify whether this finding related to records held by the Assembly Secretariat (for non-Executive staff) or Shared Services (for Executive staff). In this context I am unable to confirm which staff had a negative TOIL balance. In any case, under the provisions of the Privacy Act, personal information about any staff member cannot be disclosed.
(2) See response to question (1).
