Culture Media and Sport written question – answered at on 11 March 2013.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many days of paid sickness leave per individual member of staff are authorised in her Department on an annual basis.
DCMS provides a framework of procedures and behaviours, to enable absence to be dealt with fairly and consistently by both managers and staff.
In accordance with civil service policy on sickness absence and departmental rules, DCMS allows up to 12 months’ sick pay in any period of four years. Within this limit, up to six months in any period of 12 months may be on full pay, less any social security benefit received; the remaining six months’ entitlement may be on half pay.
The average number of paid sickness leave per individual member of staff authorised in my Department is 4.8 days per annum.
