Holiday entitlements are earned from the day you begin work.
Your minimum annual leave entitlement is 4 working weeks paid annual leave per
leave year. Your annual leave is accrued based on time worked by you. Full-time employees earn one week of paid annual leave for every three months worked.
Employees who work 1365 hours in any given leave year have earned their full four week annual leave entitlement at that point, except if it is a leave year in which the employee changes employment.
If you work part-time, you are entitled to annual leave consisting of 8% of all the
hours you work, subject to a maximum of four working weeks in the leave year.
Employees are also entitled to nine public holidays during the year, in respect of
which your employer may choose to give you one of the following four options:
- a paid day off on the day, or;
- a paid day off within a month, or;
