How does personal leave accrue?
• Employees are entitled to 10 days paid Personal Leave each year. This can be used as Sick Leave or Carer’s leave. • An employee is not entitled to use more than 10 days of their accrued personal leave as carer’s leave in any 12 month period. • If the employee is not entitled to take any paid carer’s leave because they have exhausted their 10 days of paid carer’s leave for that period, they are entitled to take 2 days’ unpaid carer’s leave for each permissible occasion. • It accrues every 4 weeks from the time employment commences or, for existing employees, from the 27th March 2006 and is credited monthly, not on the employee’s anniversary date. Because of this change in the way that personal leave accrues, employers may need to back calculate leave for employees who were engaged as of 27/3/06 and make adjustments to leave balances. This can be done with the use of void paycheques. Please see the following support note on Adjusting leave accruals. • The accrual accumulates indefinite
