Remuneration of Public Service and State sector senior staff
This part of the Annual Report is the State Services Commissioner’s report on the remuneration of chief executives and other senior personnel in the Public Service and State sector. This year I am reporting all Crown entity chief executive remuneration for the first time.
During this period of fiscal restraint, the Government expects the State sector to focus on using taxpayers’ money wisely and I have sought to ensure a restrained approach to the remuneration of chief executives across the State Services.
In section 1, I set out the policy for remunerating chief executives. In the following sections, I disclose the remuneration for those Public Service chief executives whose remuneration I set (Section 2); those chief executives whose remuneration, including my own, is set by the Remuneration Authority (Section 3) and where I have no influence; chief executives from other State sector organisations where consultation or my consent is required (Section 4); and chief executives of tertiary institutions where the board is required to seek my concurrence (Section 5). The final two sections of the report cover staff remuneration of $100,000 or more in $10,000 bands.
Section 1: Chief executive remuneration policyThe Commissioner’s role includes setting and reviewing the remuneration of Public Service7 chief executives, and advising on or approving the proposed terms and conditions of employment of Crown entity and subsidiary chief executives. The Commissioner therefore has a direct influence on the remuneration received by around 150 chief executive positions in the State sector.
The current Public Service chief executive remuneration policy is well established, continues to meet its objectives, and is designed to provide an environment in which high-quality leaders are attracted to and encouraged to perform in key roles. The main features of the policy are to:
link Public Service chief executive remuneration to chief executive remuneration • practice in the public sector8
provide flexibility and discretion for the Commissioner to set remuneration • within broad boundaries determined by the Governmentlink chief executives’ remuneration to their performance.•
7 The State Services Commissioner does not set remuneration for the chief executives of three Public Service departments: the State Services Commission, the Crown Law Office and the Government Communications Security Bureau.
8 The State sector plus the organisations of local government in New Zealand collectively make up the ‘public sector’.

The key principles of the remuneration policy noted in recent Annual Reports remain the same. To reiterate, they are that the policy:
provides the ability to attract, retain and motivate suitable highly competent • chief executivesis fair and equitable, flexible and transparent• has integrity (is statistically sound)• is efficient and manageable• is legal• is affordable• meets the Government’s expectations for pay and employment conditions • in the State sectorsupports the business of government• inspires public confidence.•
The benchmark for both Public Service and State sector chief executives’ remuneration is the public sector, for which remuneration data is collected by the SSC through its annual chief executive remuneration survey. Apart from this, I also regularly monitor other markets to see how the public sector fits into the wider picture.

The solid line in Figure 1 shows Public Service chief executives’ remuneration as the line that I set. The two lines immediately above it show the remuneration of chief executives in the State sector whose remuneration I consent or concur to (mainly tertiary institutions and district health boards), and those that consult with me (the majority of Crown entities). The upper line shows the remuneration of chief executives of organisations over which I have no influence – organisations that are in the public sector but are local government bodies or trading enterprises operating in a commercial environment.
Figure 1 shows that chief executive roles are paid differently depending on their pay-setting arrangements. Figure 2 shows the remuneration and job size for the 10 largest Public Service chief executive roles where I set remuneration and the 12 largest Crown entity positions. Figure 2 illustrates two points. First, the largest Public Service chief executive roles tend to be larger in job size terms than the largest Crown entity roles and this is reflected in the remuneration paid for the largest Public Service jobs. Secondly, Figure 2 portrays in a different way the pattern revealed in Figure 1 that, on average, for jobs of a similar size, Crown entity remuneration is higher than in the Public Service.

The Public Service
The Government’s expectation is that I will provide strong leadership in the performance management of Public Service chief executives, and the SSC continues to develop its performance management programme to meet this expectation. I have shifted the emphasis from a retrospective analysis to a focus on real-time performance management. This means that I am agreeing a smaller, sharper set of critical expectations for chief executives, and am holding them to account for delivery against those expectations, but also providing them with higher-quality engagement with the SSC, and a greater level of support.
Section 43 of the State Sector Act 1988 makes the State Services Commissioner responsible to the relevant Minister/s for reviewing the performance of each chief executive. As I noted in the 2008/2009 Annual Report, in order to more closely link remuneration to the chief executives’ performance, as is required by the Public Service chief executive remuneration policy, from 1 July 2009 I have started to review each chief executive’s remuneration and determine their performance payments at the time of their section 43 performance review.
I have commented in previous years about my intention to reduce the disparity between the remuneration of Public Service chief executives and the remuneration of chief executives in equivalent sized jobs in the public sector (the benchmark group). This will continue to be a priority for me in coming years, particularly for those chief executives in the larger roles where there is the largest gap between remuneration in the Public Service and the wider State sector. The Government has decided to reduce the chief executive salary bill for 2010/2011. This reflects the impact of disestablishing a number of Public Service departments announced by the Government this year. Adjusting for this factor, I will continue to take a restrained approach to chief executive pay which is consistent with the broad approach being taken to remuneration generally in the State sector.
From 1 July 2010 the employer contribution to the Government Superannuation Fund for the Public Service has increased significantly, from 6 percent to 10.7 percent (equivalent to around 4 percent of remuneration for a chief executive). This will be reported in the 2010/2011 Annual Report as an increased cost of employment for approximately one-third of Public Service chief executives.
The State sector
The remuneration policy continues to form the basis of my advice on chief executive remuneration in the wider State sector (Crown entities and tertiary education institutions). I consider each proposal from a board or council regarding the terms and conditions of employment for their chief executive on its merits, taking into account individual circumstances, the Government policy of a conservative and modest approach, and any special business needs particular to the organisation. While the economy is recovering from the effects of the global recession, the Government’s finances are expected to be under pressure for some years to come. In this environment, the Government expects that remuneration changes across the State sector will be met within existing funding levels, will be responsible, and will demonstrate value for money.
State Services Commission Annual Report | 2010 G.3
16
I continue to expect that councils and boards will exercise restraint when considering increases to chief executive remuneration and will propose increases only in exceptional circumstances or where the chief executive has performed strongly.
My decision about 2010 mid-point remuneration has been influenced by the continuing need for restraint, and as a result the 2010 mid-point remuneration has increased only marginally, and in some cases not at all.
The performance component in State sector chief executive remuneration packages is a discretionary component and not an automatic entitlement. I strongly urge boards and councils to continue to improve performance management systems and use the performance component effectively as a performance management tool, setting and voicing clear expectations, and offering guidance, support and professional development opportunities where appropriate.
While a number of Crown entities have disclosed the remuneration of their chief executives explicitly in their annual reports for some time, this has not been reported in all cases. To improve transparency about the remuneration of chief executives in the Crown entity sector, the tables in Sections 4 and 5 of this report show total remuneration of chief executives in the State sector and tertiary education sector respectively.
Conclusion
Chief executive remuneration in both the Public Service and the State sector is set in accordance with the policy approved by Cabinet. The remuneration I pay to Public Service chief executives, and either approve or am consulted about in the State sector, must be considered carefully, particularly as the economy continues to recover from the global recession. I continue to believe there should be a strong link between chief executives’ remuneration and their performance in the position, while taking into account individual circumstances and the Government policy of a conservative and modest approach.

Section 2: Chief executive remuneration – Public ServicePublic Service chief executive remuneration has both fi xed and variable
components. These are set out below.

This year’s reporting on chief executive remuneration in the Public Service is more
complex than usual. This refl ects the shift from a remuneration round for Public
Service chief executives as a group decided late in each fi nancial year to a review of
each chief executive’s remuneration at the time of their annual performance review
which is scheduled through the course of the fi nancial year.
This Annual Report therefore reports the outcomes of two remuneration reviews,
looking at performance over two years, 2008/2009 and 2009/2010.
The fi nal group remuneration review for Public Service chief executives determined
the performance payment for 2008/2009 and any increases in fi xed remuneration,
which were effective from 1 July 2009. Eight chief executives received an increase
in fi xed remuneration from that date.
For individual chief executives, the outcome, in terms of annual remuneration, of
the 2008/2009 remuneration review is reported in the second column of Table 1.
In 2009 I made a commitment to maintain spending on Public Service chief
executive remuneration and related expenses in 2009/2010 at the level of expenses
incurred in 2008/2009. The fi nancial statements in this Annual Report show that
this commitment was met with 2009/2010 expenditure, $434,000 lower than in
2008/2009. The outcome for individual chief executives of the high level of
restraint exercised through the 2009/2010 remuneration reviews is shown in the
fi rst column of Table 1. By reducing performance payments for meeting
expectations from 10 percent to 7.5 percent, I was able to award some increases for
strong performance, particularly where the chief executive’s remuneration was at a
relatively low level in terms of the relevant remuneration range.
10 Motor vehicles are no longer available to chief executives who did not have them as part of their remuneration packages as at September 2007.

For the 24 Public Service chief executives for whom the 2009/2010 remuneration and performance reviews have been completed and where relevant comparison can be made with the outcome of the 2008/2009 remuneration review there are:
No total remuneration changes for thirteen chief executives• Total remuneration decreases for five chief executives• Total remuneration increases for six chief executives.•
In the case of three Public Service chief executives (The Serious Fraud Office, the Ministry of Transport and the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet), 2009/2010 remuneration reviews were not completed at the time of finalisation of this Annual Report.
Comparisons between 30 June 2010 and earlier periods have not been provided for three chief executives as they would not present an accurate picture of how the remuneration of the current chief executive has moved between years. In two of these cases (Serious Fraud Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade), new chief executives took up their positions in 2009/2010 and therefore earlier period comparisons relate to the previous incumbent.
The chief executive of the Ministry for Culture and Heritage took up his position in late 2008/2009 and therefore was not eligible for a performance payment in that year.
Table 1 is the closest approximation to the current rate for each job. The 30 June 2010 figures are made up of the fixed remuneration as at 30 June 2010, plus the annualised value of any pro rata performance payment relating to the 2009/2010 financial year. It gives a useful picture of the effective annual pay package for each chief executive. The 1 July 2009 figures are made up of the fixed remuneration as at 1 July 2009, plus any performance payment relating to the 2008/2009 financial year that was paid in the 2009/2010 financial year. The 30 June 2009 figures are made up of the fixed remuneration as at 30 June 2009, plus any performance payment relating to the 2007/2008 year and that was paid during the 2008/2009 year.

Table 2 below shows the actual amount paid to a chief executive, or acting chief executive, while they held the position during the course of the year. In previous annual reports, we have reported performance payments relating to the previous financial year because they were paid in the year of the Annual Report. This year, the remuneration figures reported in Table 2 include any performance payment awarded for the 2008/2009 financial year and any pro rata performance payment awarded in 2009/2010 at the time of their performance reviews. If the chief executive left during the year, the sum also includes the payment of end of contract entitlements. These typically include annual leave not taken at the time of departure and in some cases retiring leave.
In combination, Tables 1 and 2 give the public a fair picture of the rates of pay for Public Service chief executives as well as confidence that any one-off payments, typically made around the end of contract, are disclosed.

Section 7: Staff remuneration – Tertiary education sector The information in the following table covers all those organisations whose chief executives are shown in Table 6. Some of the organisations did not have any staff who received total remuneration of $100,000 or more. The 4,240 employees reported here represent 13 percent of the tertiary education sector workforce. The number of employees receiving $100,000 or more has increased 21 percent this year, compared with 28 percent last year. The growth in the number appearing in the table is influenced by various factors, including increases in collective agreement rates for senior university staff and progression between salary steps.
