Minister for Children and Youth Affairs

Government pay policy is clear that remuneration rates for public servants must be appropriately approved and sanctioned in advance of payment. I can confirm to the Deputy that staff employed in my Department and in public service agencies under the aegis of my Department do not receive bonuses.
