Retirement Leave Employees are entitled to retirement leave or approved early retirement, providing they have completed ten or more years of service and the retirement is the permanent cessation of regular paid employment with the Ministry.

Long Service Leave Employees who have completed ten years’ continuous government service may be granted ten working days’ long service leave.
A further ten working days are available after completion of twenty years’ continuous service. Long service leave must be taken within five years of qualification.

Employee entitlements to long service leave and retirement leave are valued on an actuarial basis. Mr Bernie Higgins of Aon Consulting New Zealand Limited, an independent consulting actuary, undertook this valuation at 30 June 2004.
