Public service—annual leave
(Question No 1553)

Mrs Dunne asked the Attorney-General, upon notice, on 16 February 2011:

(1) What is the policy of the Independent Competition and Regulatory Commission as to the quantum of annual leave that staff can accumulate before being encouraged to take leave.

(2) Do staff lose annual leave entitlements if they do not take leave; if so, what are the policy rules that apply in that circumstance.

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

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

(1) The Independent Competition and Regulatory Commission’s policy and rules in relation to annual leave is outlined in the Department of Justice and Community Safety Enterprise Agreement 2010-2011 (Section F7, Annual Leave), available on the ACTPS Shared Services website at: http://www.sharedservices.act.gov.au/docs/agreements/

(2) Staff do not lose their annual leave entitlements if they do not take leave.

(3) The quantum of annual leave liability as at 31 December 2010 was:

(a) 1,073.72 hours, and

(b) $47,260.00 excluding oncosts; and $58,429.89 including oncosts.

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.
