No annual leave????
Just started a new job today, and was explained by HR that we don't qualify for annual leave until 12 months service. Can this be true? Is this the same for everyone or is it this particular organisation? Can't imagine not taking a day off in 12 months, surely staff will experience burn out before this, particularly in this profession.

I have changed jobs twice here, and working agency , so therfore have basically accumulated zilch, come end of april, i will have worked a year (albeit part-time, most of the time), without time off:( as i cant afford to take unpaid leave:(, however this is my own fault coz i just cant seem to find a hospital here i want to work in consistantly. |

Re: No annual leave????
Are you sure they aren't talking about annual leave loading? That doesn't have to paid until your first year anniversary and is usually about 17% of your normal rate of pay.
There's more info and links in the Wiki section of the site - maybe look up your relevant award? :) |

Queensland Health is similar but it's 6 weeks a year for shift workers and 5 weeks for everyone else, all annual leave and sick pay that's been acrued is displayed on the payslip each fortnight/

Re: No annual leave????
Couple questions (since I'm not in Australia). For Nurses/public sector in general in the Northern Territory, it says 6 weeks paid leave starting. After 10 years, it says 3 months "long service leave". Does that mean it's basically a one time 3 month amount of leave after 10 years (and subsequent 10 years)? And what exactly is leave loading??? Thanks in advance :thumbup:

Leave loading is your average penalties that are paid while on holidays so you dont loose out on shift penalties, Tracie |
