carer's leave

An exception to this is where an employee has already taken 5 days carer's leave in the current year.

Many Australian workers are now eligible for at least three days of 'personal or carer's leave' each year.

An employee is entitled to use up to 38 hours of accrued personal leave as carer's leave.

A long term casual employee may take additional unpaid carer's leave if the employer agrees.

By contrast, family leave is really carer's leave.

Carer's leave is leave for employees to care and support members of their immediate family or househould when they are ill.

A full time employee is entitled to the amount of carer's leave specified in this clause, subject to the following conditions and limitations:

It is therefore, in my view, characteristically different to a personal or carer's leave entitlement in the nature of sick leave.

Carer's leave is available as follows:

However, the taking of paid carer's leave was limited to 10 days in the first year of employment and 12 days in subsequent years.

They had no job security and many had no sick leave, carer's leave or annual leave, she said.

Annual and accrued sick leave may be taken as carer's leave as follows:

"Long term" casual employees have access to a range of employment conditions within legislation, including maternity leave, carer's leave, bereavement leave.
