I thank the Senator for raising this matter. As she pointed out, current temporary clerical officers have received their arrears of pay. The Department only received lists from PeoplePoint - our HR shared service-provider - of all TCOs affected by the change in October 2014. The total number is 644. A total of 132 temporary clerical officers who were still employed by the Department received their full arrears in December 2014. The Department commenced the payment of arrears to the remaining 512 temporary clerical officers during April 2015. The computation of the arrears are being processed and then paid. A total of 61 payments have issued to date. The remaining 451 are being processed and will be paid as quickly as our payroll resources allow. I ask the Senator to contact me if any particular difficulties arise for individuals.
