Leave
Employees can take leave for many reasons, including to go on a holiday, because they are sick or to take care of sick family members.
Minimum leave entitlements for employees come from the National Employment Standards (NES). An award, registered agreement or contract of employment can provide for other leave entitlements but they can’t be less than what’s in the NES.
