2.3 Total Reward
Total Reward is the sum of the Total Remuneration Package plus bonuses. Bonuses include individual performance, retention and productivity bonuses as well as whole-of-agency or group bonuses. Median performance bonuses in 2013 ranged from $1,235 at the APS 1–4 classifications to $29,157 at the SES 3 classification.
The overall movement in median Total Reward across all classifications from 2012 to 2013 was 3.3%.
From 2012 to 2013, the non-SES median Total Reward increased by 3.3%, and the SES median Total Reward increased by 2.8%.
Consistent with TRP, the Graduate classification saw the greatest increase in median Total Reward with an increase of 6.5% from 2012. This is a reflection of the increase in median Base Salary (see explanation at Section 2.1: Base Salary).
The SES 3 classification recorded the second highest increase in median change in Total Reward with an increase of 4.5%. It was the only classification that reported a reduction in any measure, at the 95th percentile. This classification also reported the lowest average increase of 2.4%.
The SES 1 classification received the lowest increase in median change in Total Reward of 2.7%. This reflects the repackaging and closure of a performance bonus arrangement in an agency large enough to influence the median.
