Community Service Leave

The NES provide a minimum entitlement to community service leave for national system employees, including jury service leave and voluntary emergency management activity.

Modern awards and enterprise agreements may include provisions that are ancillary or incidental to the community service leave entitlements under the NES or which supplement those entitlements.

Employees who are not covered by the NES may be entitled to community service leave under state legislation.
