This focuses on:
- unused annual leave balance as this represents an accrued liability cost for your organisation
- sick and carers leave taken as this represents the lost labour effort due to illness and absenteeism
- the lost effort due to additional leave arrangements such as leave taken at half pay and purchased leave
All leave management calculations are for ongoing and fixed term employees. They do not include casual employees.
In all calculations the typical hours of a full time employee in a day is 7.6 hours. This is used to convert the workforce data (such as sick and carers leave taken) that is collected in hours into days, as used in the following calculations.
Average sick and carers leave taken
The average sick and carers leave figure is the sum of sick and carer days taken in the reported year for each employee active as at the last full pay period in June divided by the total FTE of the organisation as at the last full pay period in June of the report year.
Average sick and carers leave=Total sick and carers days taken in the year by each employee÷Total FTE employees
