Filling of posts • As at end August 2015, 262 posts were filled out of 312 funded posts (84% filled) • To date, date 264 posts are filled out of 312 funded posts (85%) • Movement in the department for the three months is reflected below:
Filling of posts continued…. • 50 posts were vacant as at 31 August 2015 • 12 of the 50 posts are positions that have been previously filled in the department. However, due to staff turnover and internal promotions/transfers these posts became vacant • 25 of the 50 vacant posts were new posts • All new posts had been advertised, however the high vacancy rate is as a result of the following: • Due to the merger of the NPC and DPME there was a need to re-scope positions as they became vacant and these posts had to be evaluated before advertised • New positions in corporate services were created to ensure adequate support to address the transfer of the NPC, Ministry and Deputy Ministry • Delays in the JE process for posts in corporate services that require DPSA approval (salary level 9/10/11/12) • Delays in pre-employment security screening by the SSA • Difficulty in finding suitable candidates for specialist posts resulting in head-hunting processes after the normal recruitment process was unsuccessful which causes a delay in the filling of such posts
2015/16 Quarter 1 Expenditure • Reasons for under-expenditure of R37.9m: • R19m payment for the National Income Dynamic Study (NIDS – Programme 4) – Invoice was received in Quarter 2 and paid • Normal staff turnover. DG post and 2 DDG posts vacant (2 DDG posts have since been filled) • Expenditure in Programme 4 affected by end of term of National Planning Commission – New Commissioners likely to be appointed in September 2015 • Some ICT and Evaluation projects behind schedule
2015/16 Expenditure Summary • Department spent 99.5% of budget in 2013/14 and 96.6 % in 2014/15 • Expenditure in Programme 4 (National Planning) will increase once new commissioners have been appointed • Some ICT projects planned for 2016/17 will be brought forward to absorb savings
