(iv) There is no provision for “unpaid overtime” in the ACT Public Service.

(v) Flextime provides a framework for an employee’s pattern of attendance at work to be varied according to the needs of the employee and the requirements of the work unit while maintaining an average of 36.75 hours per week. Individuals and managers are responsible for recording hours worked. Flextime balances are not centrally captured and recorded.

(vi) An employee may have a maximum flextime credit equal to the employee’s normal weekly hours of duty, at the end of the settlement period. A settlement period will comprise two pay periods (i.e. four weeks).

(vii) For flextime arrangements to work effectively, managers and employees have a responsibility to manage hours of work to ensure that individuals are not building up excessive flex credits.

(viii) and (ix) This information is not separately recorded, and I am not prepared to authorise the use of the considerable resources that would be required to determine the figure.

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

ACT Property Group in the Department of Land and Property Services manages all leased accommodation on behalf of the Territory, therefore this question was redirected. Please find attached Whole of Government data.
