Sickies on rise in public service as crackdown ordered
STEFANIE BALOGH THE AUSTRALIAN DECEMBER 30, 2013 12:00AM

FEDERAL public service chiefs have been warned to crackdown on excessive sick leave as the Abbott government puts them on notice over rising levels of absenteeism. The rate of unscheduled time off in the public service, which includes sick, carer's, and compensation leave, increased by 0.5 days last financial year compared to the previous 12 months. Staff at the mammoth Human Services Department took an average of 16 unscheduled days off for the year, while ComSuper workers had an average of 13 sick days.
