Leaving the Service

If you are planning to leave the service, HR eXpert can calculate the value of your Recreation and Extended Leave and the tax that this will attract.  You can model different options (for example, using different retirement/resignation dates or final pay rates) to assist in your decision making.  You can print a report that provides detailed information about each of your options.

Voluntary Redundancy

If you have been offered a Voluntary Redundancy, HR eXpert can determine an estimated value of your Voluntary Redundancy payout, including the Extended Leave and Recreation Leave components and the tax that this will attract.  You can print a report that details all the components that make up the Voluntary Redundancy payout.

Entitlement to Extended Leave/Recognition of Previous Service

HR eXpert can determine whether your previous service in other government agencies can be recognised for Extended Leave purposes and calculate the amount of your Extended Leave entitlement.  You can print a report detailing your entitlements or letters to employers requesting certificates of service.

Entitlement to Maternity Leave

HR eXpert can assist you to determine your entitlement to paid and unpaid Maternity Leave. The inquiry can help you select your options, including return to work dates and hours of work.  You can print out details of your leave and the payments you will receive and an application for Maternity Leave form.

Variation to Maternity Leave

If you have Maternity Leave approved and you would like to vary your arrangements, HR eXpert can provide a letter to your agency requesting approval for the changes.

Study Time

HR eXpert can assist you to determine your entitlement to Study Time and can help you choose how you take it.  You can print out details of your proposed arrangements and an application for Study Time.

Entitlements for a Proposed Journey

HR eXpert allows you to plan a journey and determine an estimated value of your travel entitlements for that journey.  It caters for both one-day and overnight journeys.  You can print a detailed report and travel diary.  Application forms can also be produced which may be used in your agency as an application for approval to travel, use a private motor vehicle, use a departmental motor vehicle, undertake air travel or receive a cash advance payment.

Entitlements for a Completed Journey

HR eXpert allows you to determine an estimated value of your travel entitlements for a completed journey.  It caters for both one-day and overnight journeys.  You can print a detailed report, travel diary and claim form.

Higher Duties Allowance

The Higher Duties Allowance inquiry provides a simple calculator to assist you in making decisions about receiving higher duties allowances.  It allows you to determine the approximate gross value of the payment you may receive if you are paid a higher duties allowance.

Building a Salary Package

HR eXpert allows you to calculate and compare different Salary Packaging options that may be available to you.  The module is based on Salary Packaging arrangements described in State Procurements Contract 6036 (Flexible Salary Packaging for non-SES Public Sector Employees).  This inquiry does not cater for Salary Packaging arrangements for SES officers. 

You can investigate Salary Packaging in three areas - leasing a motor vehicle, contributing to a superannuation fund and purchasing or leasing a laptop computer. This inquiry does not consider your individual financial objectives, financial situation and needs.  It can provide basic financial information which can be used to assist your decision making.  You should not act on the basis of this information without considering, and if necessary, taking appropriate financial, legal and other professional advice about your own particular circumstances.

Agency List Inquiry

The HR eXpert Agency List Inquiry allows you to access a comprehensive Agency List which provides details of NSW and other Australian government agencies.

The primary use of the Agency List is to determine eligibility for Extended Leave for NSW government employees under the Public Sector Employment and Management Act (PSEMA). However, it is an excellent resource which provides detailed information about agencies which can be used for many other purposes.

You can search the list to find individual agencies, using any of the many names they are known by. This will provide details of the agency and allow you to track them over time by identifying their predecessors and successors. You can also download an excel spreadsheet which contains details of all agencies in the list.
