32637 (2025). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety

32637 (2025). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety: What evidence, if any, has been presented to the Minister outlining that part-time workers are taking all of their sick leave when they’re not actually sick?

Hon Brooke van Velden: I have not made this claim. Because part-time workers are less likely than full-time workers to be scheduled to be at work at the time they are sick, it is appropriate that their sick leave entitlements be scaled proportionally to reflect their working hours.
