Annual leave is calculated using the number of days owing as at the end of June 2009. Incentive and long leave are actuarially calculated to reflect the likelihood of a liability being incurred. Accumulated leave and terminal benefits are paid out on release and their values are actuarially calculated using predicted terminal dates.

ACC Accredited Employer Programme

The liability for the ACC Accredited Employer Programme has been actuarially calculated by the NZDF based on expected treatment costs, rehabilitation entitlements, income compensation and historical claims information. This calculation has been completed by the NZDF. Claims management practices focus on limiting liability without compromising care and entitlements.  There has been no inflation or discounting applied in the calculation of the ACC liability as this would have no material impact on the balance.

The NZDF has purchased high cost claim cover to limit liability for any one event to $2.000 million.  The NZDF has a stop loss limit since joining the Accredited Employer Programme set at $9.335 million which is 160% of the risk.
