Education and Child Development Department

In reply to Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (3 November 2016).

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills): I have been advised:

Department for Education and Child Development does not have a separate budget to cover the cost of increased annual leave liabilities. Site and corporate leaders are advised on a fortnightly basis of all current leave entitlements for all employees appointed to their site, and are required to monitor and take action so employees use their accrued leave in a timely manner and within the set policy parameters.
