Employee arrangements – Indigenous Land Corporation

During 2013–14, the ILC Board appointed a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) after a competitive, merit-based recruitment process. The CEO’s remuneration arrangements are administered by the Australian Government Remuneration Tribunal under the Principal Executive Office (PEO) classification.

The CEO is responsible for the engagement of such employees that are necessary to perform the functions of the ILC.

At 30 June 2014, the ILC employed 105.8 fulltime equivalent (FTE) employees, an increase in FTEs from 2012–13 as a result of filling vacant positions. The FTEs include the CEO and eight senior executive employees: the Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel, Director Policy and Programme Development, Director Capital Works, Director Business Employment and Training, Director Programme Delivery and two Divisional Managers. The remuneration arrangements for senior executive employees include private-plated vehicles, business-class official travel (when travelling for periods in excess of two hours), airline lounge membership, home-based computers, mobile phones and salary sacrificing arrangements under individual Employment Agreements.

All other ILC employees are employed under the ILC Enterprise Agreement 2011–2014. Benefits under the Enterprise Agreement are:

• Studies assistance;

• Professional membership;

• Employee Assistance Programme;

• Training and Development courses;

• Healthy Employee Scheme (Individual and Team);

• Screen-based eyesight testing; and

• Vaccinations.

The ILC does not have any employees engaged on Australian Workplace Agreements (AWA). No ILC employee, including the senior executives, received a performance pay bonus.

In 2013–14, the ILC engaged 21 new employees (nine female and twelve male). Twelve employees separated during the year, an 11.1% turnover (2012–13: 13.9%).

ILC maintained a high level of workplace diversity. As at 30 June 2014, the diversity statistics for the ILC were:

• Indigenous employees: 32.1% (2012–13: 30.8%); and

• Female employees: 52.7% (2012–13: 57.7%).
