Flexible work arrangements
The South Australian Public Sector offers flexible working arrangements for employees, including:
- schedule of hours worked - for example, flexitime, compressed or expanded work weeks, alternative start and finish times, changed shift and break schedules
- number of hours worked - for example, part-time, job sharing, purchased leave, transition to retirement
- place of work - for example, working at home, office work and activity-based work (such as field work).
Flexitime enables employees to negotiate start and finish times, within a range of core business hours, without increasing or reducing the total number of hours worked when averaged over a four-week cycle.

- Recognition of years of service
- Individual and team recognition
- End of year departmental awards
- Recognition from our Chief Executive
