Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Answers to Questions Public Sector Employees Public Sector Employees The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY Legislative Council Public Sector Employees In reply to the Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (13 May 2020). The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council Public Sector Employees The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): I have been provided the following advice: I am advised that the Department for Education considers that it is unlikely that any swimming and aquatic instructor's continuity of service will be impacted at this time. This is because although the program has not been taking bookings from schools, the department has taken the opportunity to engage some instructors for the purposes of administrative and maintenance duties. In addition the department has also scheduled a paid professional development opportunity for all instructors in June 2020. It is possible, however unlikely, that swimming and aquatic instructors could be in a position where their workplace remained closed and they could not access the planned professional development opportunity or other paid duties. Dependent on their employment arrangements, this could constitute a break in service which would impact on their long service leave entitlement calculation.
