Personal/carer’s leave
The National Employment Standards (NES) in Pt 2-2 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (FW Act) provide a minimum entitlement to paid personal/carer’s leave for national system employees.
Modern awards and enterprise agreements may include provisions that are ancillary or incidental to the personal/carer’s leave entitlements under the NES or which supplement those entitlements.
Employees who are not covered by the NES are generally entitled to personal/carer’s leave under state legislation.
See Personal/carer’s leave.
