Public service—annual leave
(Question No 1456)

Mr Seselja asked the Minister for Planning, upon notice, on 16 February 2011:

(1) What is the policy of the ACT Planning and Land Authority 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 Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) The ACT Planning and Land Authority’s (ACTPLA) policies and rules in relation to annual leave are outlined in the ACTPLA Enterprise Agreement 2010-2011, available on the APS shared ACTPS website at: http://www.sharedservices.act.gov.au/docs/agreements/

In brief, staff may generally accrue up to two years (that is, 40 days) annual leave before the employee and manager must agree and implement ‘an annual leave usage plan’ to ensure that the employee’s accrued credit does not exceed two and a half years (that is, 50 days leave).

(2) Staff do not lose their annual leave entitlement if they do not take leave. However employees may be directed to take annual leave if they have in excess of two and a half years worth of annual leave credit

(3) (a) 51,507.51 hours

(b) $2,901,277.97
