Do public service managers spend more to provide bonuses?

Society Service Confidential A business location advise column for federal civil servants. The following question has been edited for clarity and length.

I have been a civil servant for years. There is a lot of things and frustration that needs a new keyboard due to all writing. So I will start from one:

The end of the bounce of the financial year. If you are a civil servant, do you know your email: We are approaching the end of the year and have a little extra money to burn, so we have an extra money to put forward any and all requests. My understanding is that every year should spend every year because the start of those who start with the initial budget for the initial budget.

In fact, for this reason, it’s like a taxpayer, it’s completely and completely unacceptable. When we have to spend, we have extra money to burn budgets to match the budgets with forecasts. Then, on April 1, we have extra dwarfs and boxes that lie around – TV monitors, boards, headphones, etc. Do they simply spend money to get bonuses for bonuses? Should this experience be prohibited?

I don’t care that you don’t get your bonus. This is not the way we work with the taxpayer money. The period.

Note: I’m at work today, so I don’t write this during the working hours.

Sincere,
A civil servant who does not like waste

I do not like waste, especially when I worry about their money or taxpayer money. When he went to the airport for the airport, I took the bus to the city for the airport for the work as a CEO.

In some departments, the end of the year ends sometimes, although there was nothing happening every year, although it happens. Management contracts (a corporate commitment) often have a “corporate commitment” in management contracts (a corporate commitment “that encourage the last costs of the year to match the budget forecasts. Thus, some people may think that the end of the year’s expenses are related to the payment payment.

However, executive bonuses are rarely, always in line with the financial results. Again, the norm of rewarding bonuses for the departments of meaningful PMAS is generally more closely related by providing greater policies or program responsibilities than the quality of management. In my experience, the quality of the quality of expenditures against the budget, forecasting and liabilities is not a significant weight in the award of step-risk risk bonuses.

Thus, it is incorrect to say “I should spend up” the starting of years to take the prognosis for the initial budget for the initial predictable budget for everyone. “What happened will be able to postpone the financial year to protect the financial room maneuver to maneuver the financial room to deal with unexpected spending pressures in problem areas.

In addition, I claimed that the end of the responsibility was directed to a point, especially in one point, such as financing the computers or laptops (three or four years) or employees for employees, such as financing and professional development opportunities.

Taking this into account, I would relay from trying to “ban” to the annual spending. As a sufficiently large executive, I was proud of my efforts to carry careful and intelligent and “did not burn the taxpayer for no reason.” When some say I am naive, most of the managers do not revive the taxpayer’s dollars at the end of the year.

I sincerely agree that public sector managers should not be able to spend and disappoint them because they have extra money to burn “(they) and prevent them from hearing about” extra crap boxes.

However, when the annual spending experience is occurring, the occurrence is not about the costs of high management decisions to protect bonuses, but the decisions of money, which are weak, and sometimes do not forget the money.
