(a)-(c) Questions cannot be answered in the way asked due to current reporting methodology.
Public sector departments and organisations report FDV leave usage to the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety Public Sector Labour Relations Division (PSLR). Reporting reflects leave uptake over each six-month period following the introduction of FDV leave on 18 August 2017.
Schedule 1 entities under the Public Sector Management Act 1992 (WA), including Government Trading Enterprises, are not required to report on FDV leave usage.
The following table summarises sector-wide FDV usage since 2018. Reporting does not include the Department of Health (DoH), as there is no designated DoH payroll code for FDV leave.
