Leave
At Treasury we consider employee health and well-being to be of utmost importance. In recognition of the benefits of an appropriate balance between work and personal commitments, employees are asked to use recreation leave accrued from one leave year within the following leave year.

During the past three years, as at 30 June there have been no employees whose recreation leave exceeded the statutory limits defined in Regulation 21 of the State Service Regulations 2001.
On 30 June 2009, there were 135 employees who had an average long service leave entitlement of 59.6 days. The total long-service leave entitlement balance was 8 038 days.
