DEPARTMENT OF THE PREMIER AND CABINET —
TALENT2 WEBSITE
862. Hon SALLY TALBOT to the
Leader of the House representing the Premier:
I refer to information that can be accessed electronically by
electorate office staff through the Talent2 website provided by the Department
of the Premier and Cabinet showing leave type, calculation date, accrual date
and actual, pro rata and total leave balances.
(1) Who maintains this database?
(2) How frequently is the
information updated?
(3) Is there currently a backlog of
leave applications that have not been entered into the database?
(4) If so, how extensive is the
backlog and when will it be cleared?
(5) Is the
leave entitlement information supposed to be accurate for the day it is
produced; and, if not, how can staff obtain accurate information?

(1) Talent2.
(2) Every fortnight after the
completion of payroll processing.
(3) No.
(4) Not applicable.
(5) All leave applications
are processed within 48 hours from the time they are received. An employee is
able to utilise the web self-service application to forecast leave entitlements
at a current or future date, or contact the payroll office in the Department of
the Premier and Cabinet. Accuracy is dependent on the time an application is
received with the member's endorsement, the correctness of information
on the application form and processing time in relation to the fortnightly pay
cycle.
