Employee Leave entries
Annual Leave or holiday pay allows an employee to be paid while having time off from work. All employees (except for casual employees) get paid annual leave.
All permanent and part-time employees are allocated so many weeks of annual leave (normally 4, but not necessarily), based on their ordinary hours of work.
Annual leave accrues progressively and therefore an employee does not have to qualify for a minimum length of service before being able to request to take annual leave (but dependant on contracts signed).
Sick leave (or personal/carers leave) provides an entitlement should the employee suffer a personal injury or illness or need to provide care support for an immediate family member.
All employees except casuals are entitled to paid sick and carer's leave
A full-time employee will accrue around 10 days per year, dependant on contacts signed
Part-time employees receive 10 days on their normal hours of work
An employee will continue to accrue personal/carers (sick) leave indefinitely and it does not expire, unless employment is terminated
Unused personal/Carers (sick) leave is not paid out on termination of employment

Long Service Leave becomes an entitlement to an employee once they have completed a certain number of years of service
When employment ends before an employee has worked the total number of years needed to get the full long service leave entitlement, they can sometimes get paid out part of their long service leave, pro-rata (entitlements are covered by the state or territory law in which the employee is employed)
