Emergency service activities are when an employee, who is a registered volunteer in a specified emergency service organisation, is requested to respond to an emergency situation involving volunteer assistance during normal working hours.
State Service employees who are registered volunteers with the Tasmania Fire Service, Ambulance Tasmania or the State Emergency Service are covered.
Requests for leave need to be provided to your manager and should include full information, such as the requirement for absence and the likely length of such absence. Any approval for leave will also need to consider if the officer or employee is able without undue disruption to the operational requirements of the agency to be released to assist in responding to the emergency.
