Finance Minister Blaine Higgs is introducing a new program to cut down on absenteeism in the public service.
He said the attendance management program, which will ensure sick leave is used only when absolutely necessary, will protect sick leave benefits for government workers and save taxpayers money.
"[The attendance management program will] help us to achieve significant reductions in sick leave usage and protect the sick leave benefit for the circumstances when it is truly required," Higgs said.
The program will include training for government managers and it will establish workplace committees.
Higgs said he hopes to achieve a 20 per cent reduction in sick leave usage by March 31, 2015 which would result in savings of approximately $20 million.
