Compassionate leave
The NES provide a minimum entitlement to compassionate leave (also known as bereavement leave) for national system employees.
Modern awards and enterprise agreements may also include provisions that are ancillary or incidental to the compassionate leave entitlements under the NES, or which supplement those entitlements.
Employees who are not covered by the NES may be entitled to compassionate leave under state legislation.
See Compassionate leave.
