The PSA has raised with management the growing issue of members forfeiting flex hours because they are unable to take their accrued flex leave within the settlement period.

To address this, the PSA is seeking to improve conditions around forfeiting flex leave.

This may include:

• A clear outline of provisions to reduce the amount of forfeited flex, and/or
• Ensure staff are fairly remunerated when they are unable to use accumulated flex leave that would otherwise be forfeited.

To assist the PSA in obtaining accurate information about how forfeited flex effects members, we ask that you take 5 minutes to complete the survey (link below).

The information collected will be used to inform our proposal, and following consultation with Sheriff’s Officers Vocational Branch Advisory Group (SOVBAG) delegates, the PSA will forward a draft proposal to the Sheriff’s Office for consideration.

Your feedback is essential in ensuring this issue is resolved in a way that reflects the experience of members across the state.

Please be assured that all information collected will remain anonymous.

This is an important step in ensuring members’ hard-earned time is respected and protected. The PSA is committed to finding a solution that benefits staff across all regions and roles.

We will keep members updated as consultation progresses. Fill out survey HERE
