Absence Management
Did You Know
A review of information to the Australian National Audit Office (ANAO), 99 per cent of Australian Public Service (APS), calculated that during 2001–02;
- Total unscheduled absences, such as sick leave, carer’s leave, workers compensation and various types of miscellaneous leave, were some 1.36 million days, of which 73 per cent was sick leave;
- Average unscheduled absence was 11.9 days per Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) employee (compared to a median of 6.8 days in the private sector);
- Average sick leave taken was 8.7 days per FTE employee; and
- Overall costs of unscheduled absence was estimated to be $295 million, or about $2600 per FTE employee.
- This does not include on-costs and the additional costs that can arise from the need for replacement staff or any possible consequential costs associated with potentially reduced government services. Total costs of unscheduled absence can be up to three times the direct cost of the salaries of the absent staff.
