DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Expenditure – 30 JUNE 2009

MAIN DIVISIONS OF THE VOTE

ECONOMIC CLASS. CURRENT PAYMENTS

Current Payments Expenditure on CoE is indicated as 20% of the allocation, against time expiration of 25%, suggesting a 5% underspend. This is mainly due to vacancies within the department and an aggressive exercise is being undertaken to fill all vacant posts. Within Goods and Services, reflecting a 3% lag, is expenditure attributed to Repairs and Maintenance projects, PPP unitary fees, Leases and rentals for office buildings which are quarterly payments. Expenditure reflected under Financial transactions in assets and liabilities is attributed to bad-debt write-offs.

COMPENSATION OF EMPLOYEES

ECONOMIC CLASS. TRANSFERS & SUBSIDIES

As at 30 June 2009, expenditure relating to Departmental agencies and accounts is reflected as 44% of the allocation. This situation is however due to the clauses as agreed upon in the drawdown agreements with recipients with for example, the CCMA requesting 50% of its allocation within the first quarter. The allocation for Foreign governments and international organisations is yet to be expensed as these are affiliation fees to ILO and ARLAC, and are only transferred in the 3 rd and 4 th quarter. Public corporation transfers are funds transferred to the Umsobomvu Youth fund with 50% of the allocation being expensed in the first quarter, as per the drawdown agreement. Expenditure for Non-profit institutions is expensed as per the drawdown agreement between the Department, Productivity SA and the SEF. The bulk of expenditure on Households is as a result of severance packages and leave gratuities. Transfers and Subsidies
