THE Northern Network Alliance will begin consultation with staff and unions to recoup overpayments after the advanced pay of 132 workers was deducted in one lump sum.

Human error in the group’s most recent pay run has been blamed for the blunder, which also reportedly led to a stop-work at the Yandina site over the issue yesterday.

NNA manager John Palmer said workers had been paid in advanced over the Christmas break on the basis of a forward estimate of hours to be worked.

“But due to the extreme wet weather over that period, the NNA workforce did not work those estimated hours,” he said. “As a result, many NNA employees were overpaid.”

He said the error was swiftly rectified and all affected staff received a correction payment yesterday.

It came as The Daily received calls claiming NNA workers on the Yandina site had put down their tools in response to a pay dispute.

Mr Palmer said that was not the case.

“Work did not stop on the project and there is no dispute over the error,” he said.

“The NNA will gradually seek to recoup the overpayments.”

OLDER Australians planning their retirement next year could be forced to pay thousands of dollars in tax on superannuation payouts as a result of Labor’s $1.8 billion flood levy.

Payments would apply to retirees between the ages of 55 and 60 who receive their superannuation in a lump sum.

It will also hit those who are on transitional employment and receive part of their superannuation as a pension to supplement their salary.

Revelations of the loophole in Labor’s flood levy came as the opposition launched an attack in question time on Julia Gillard, presenting the Prime Minister with the story of a police officer retiring next year who will pay an extra $6590 in tax on his super lump sum payment of $698,038 due to the flood levy.

The 57-year-old policeman — who has worked with the NSW police force for more than 30 years and has a wife and two children — wrote to his local member, Russell Matheson, who represents the marginal western Sydney electorate of Macarthur, on Tuesday to express his anger over Labor’s levy.

“Should this additional tax be introduced in the manner currently being reported, I believe I and probably many others like me will be penalised as a result of choosing the wrong year to retire,” he said.

In question time yesterday, Ms Gillard said the way the levy was structured was “the right thing to do”.

“That is how we structure burdens in our society,” she said. “We structure burdens on the basis that people who have the capacity to pay more, should pay more.”

Lump-sum superannuation payments for over 60s are not taxed, and a person who was doing a transition to retirement pension, in a way that reduced their taxable income below $50,000, would not pay any levy.

Opposition Treasury spokesman Joe Hockey said yesterday’s disclosure revealed that Labor’s claim the flood levy would cost Australians only a cup of coffee a week was “in tatters”.

EnerNOC Inc. (Nasdaq: ENOC) said its chief operating officer will resign effective today, but will provide transitional services to the company, according to a regulatory filing.

Darren Brady, senior vice president and COO of the Boston-based company, reached an agreement with the company last Saturday that he would resign, according to the filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing does not give a reason for the resignation.

Brady has held the position since January 2008, and in 2009 he earned compensation of $993,352, according to a company proxy statement.

In addition to severance, which was not disclosed in the filing, Brady will receive an additional lump sum cash payment equal to $200,000, according to the filing. He will also provide transitional services after he leaves as an advisor to CEO Timothy Healy, and will get a monthly payment of $25,000 for each month he performs the services, the filing shows.

EnerNOC, the market leader in the energy management area known as demand response, has made two acqusitions in recent months. The company paid $33.3 million last month to acquire Idaho-based M2M Communications Corp., and in December, the company bought California-based Global Energy Partners Inc. for $26.5 million.

EnerNOC pulled in revenue of $162.8 million for the quarter ended Sept. 30, compared to $103.1 million a year earlier.
