Total staff costs for the maternity ward (see Exhibit 4) were based on employees working a standard 42- hour, five-day work week, taking an average of eight personal leave days and six sick days per year, and twelve days of holidays. Each employee participated in weekly training for an average of two hours per week. The only exceptions were residents who worked 80 hours per week, but were still entitled to the same number of personal leave days, sick days, holidays, and employee training. The chief financial officer indicated that benefits and taxes added an additional 23 per cent to these costs (see Exhibit 5).
