This email exchange from July-August 2023 documents Services Australia's Chief Executive Officer's consideration of an Incentive to Retire (ITR) payment for Cate Saunders, a temporarily seconded Department of Parliamentary Services employee working in a modified Band 2 role. Saunders' six-month arrangement was concluding in October 2023, with uncertainty about returning to her nominal Band 3 position. The CEO explored whether an ITR would be appropriate given her circumstances and requested HR information from the Australian Public Service Commission to enable ITR calculations. The Australian Public Service Commission subsequently provided an ITR estimate for Saunders. Significant portions of the correspondence are redacted under sections 47E(d) and 47F(1) of the Freedom of Information Act, protecting personal and HR-related information.
