Accounting policy
Liabilities for short-term employee benefits and termination benefits expected within twelve
months of the end of reporting period are measured at their nominal amounts.
Leave
The liability for employee benefits includes provision for annual leave and long service leave.
The leave liabilities are calculated on the basis of employees’ remuneration at the estimated
salary rates that will be applied at the time the leave is taken, including the Commission's
employer superannuation contribution rates to the extent that the leave is likely to be taken
during service rather than paid out on termination.
The liability for long service leave has been determined by reference to the work of an actuary
performed for the Department of Finance (DoF) and summarised in the Standard Parameters
for use in 2021–22 Financial Statements published on the DoF website. The estimate of the
present value of the liability takes into account attrition rates and pay increases through
promotion and inflation.
Separation and Redundancy
Provision is made for separation and redundancy benefit payments. The Commission
recognises a provision for termination when it has developed a detailed formal plan for the
terminations and has informed those employees affected that it will carry out the terminations.
