Public service—annual leave
(Question No 1479)

Mr Smyth asked the Treasurer, upon notice, on 16 February 2011:

(1) What is the policy of the Superannuation Provision Account 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.

Ms Gallagher: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) Treasury’s policy and rules (including the Superannuation Provision Account) in relation to annual leave is outlined in the 2010-2011 Treasury Enterprise Agreement (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) (a) 1198 hours (b) $55,634.36. 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.
