Public Service Employees

In reply to Mr SZAKACS (Cheltenham) (24 July 2019). (Estimates Committee B)

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.
