(3) What was the quantum of annual leave liability as at 31 December 2010 in both (a) hours and (b) dollars.

Mr Stanhope: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) Staff of ACT Public Cemeteries Authority (the Authority) are public servants employed under the Department of Territory and Municipal Services (TAMS). The Authority adheres to the TAMS’ Enterprise Agreement which states that employees and their managers must agree and implement leave management plans once their accumulated annual leave exceeds eight weeks.

(2) No, but employees are encouraged to take excess leave as detailed in (1) above.

(3) (a) 2,758 hours

(b) $90,793.

Note: given that substantial holiday leave is taken in January each year, these amounts would likely be considerably lower by the end of February 2011.
