(Estimates Committee B) The Hon. R.I. LUCAS House of Assembly Treasurer The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): I have been advised the following: The maximum entitlement under the Public Service (Recreation Leave) Loading Award affects those employees who currently earn above $65,527 per annum and affects either directly or indirectly (through flow-on provisions in other industrial awards or enterprise agreements) approximately 40,148 public sector employees. Those employees who earn less than $65,527 per annum receive the full maximum entitlement under the award and are therefore not affected by the cap in the award.
