You might be in for a big shock...what a blunder it really is. This calls for a strike if Cabinet doesn't approve the mess... surely this will be factored in the next coming negotiations...yes it's pays for what we were promised in 2006/07 negotiation (the remaining 2%)... but I feel sorry for the man I might soon be working for... PUBLIC SERVICE PAY Baloyi's blunder By Carol Paton Public service & administration minister Richard Baloyi has astounded cabinet and national treasury by signing a wage deal with public service unions that is not affordable for government and on which cabinet was not consulted. Treasury is reeling from the settlement - an average of 11,5%, which was three percentage points higher than the mandated 8,5% - which the mandate committee composed of treasury and department of public service & administration (DPSA) officials had told negotiators was the upper limit. The first that treasury officials heard about the settlement was when it was announced publicly last week. Richard Baloyi - Tying up loose ends In previous years, the decision-making route before signing a wage settlement with unions has involved a bilateral meeting between the minister of finance and the minister of public service & administration and then full consultation with cabinet. In this instance, neither w as consulted. A senior government official said: "In the past there had always been very close communication between the DPSA and treasury, but in this case, the communication broke down." Cabinet spokesman Themba Maseko said that while the matter did arise in last week's cabinet meeting "no decision could be taken as the mandating committee was still dealing with the matter". Finance minister Pravin Gordhan referred all queries to Maseko. Baloyi's spokesman, Sefako Nyaka, said the minister was " tying up a few loose ends on the recent salary agreement" and could not respond until this had been done. However, the bungle appears to have been caused by negotiators who misunderstood the mandate committee's directive. The committee set the limit of the offer at 8,5% but said that as a concession to workers, the wage agreement could be backdated to April 1 rather than July 1, when it normally takes effect. This would provide a way of giving public servants more cash in their pockets during this financial year, while keeping fixed costs down by not raising the baseline for subsequent years. But instead of offering an extra 8,5% for three months, which would have cost the state R2bn, negotiators added the R2bn on to the wage offer. This will raise government's fixed costs for wages by an extra R2bn this year. The sum will be compounded every year into the future as wages rise by inflation. Another consequence of sharply rising salaries is that government, a big job creator in recent years, will be able to employ fewer people. This will have the biggest impact on labour-intensive departments and on the employment of nurses, teachers and police. WHAT IT MEANS Signed wage deal not affordable for state Cabinet not consulted Apart from the likely impact on service delivery, fewer government jobs will also affect government's employment targets. Between 2006 and 2008, government employment grew by 90 000, making it, along with construction, a major job creator. The last time public-sector salaries rose rapidly, in 1996, the head count in health fell by 60 000; in the police service by 140 000 and in education by 60 000.
