(4) A reporting mechanism has been introduced that identifies the status of Main Roads' leave liability. This is reported on a monthly basis to Corporate Executive for review. The reporting tracks the status of Main Roads' leave liability against a target set by Treasury. It also identifies the number of employees outside the parameters of Main Roads' industrial instruments. Managers are notified of employees with excess leave and are required to work with them to develop a plan on how to reduce the leave liability. This process has ensured that leave liability is better managed and escalated to Corporate Executive to ensure the appropriate controls are in place and that as many employees as possible remain within the parameters of the industrial instruments. As a result of this mechanism, the number of employees with excess leave liability has been reduced.
