Annual Leave Sample Clauses
The Annual Leave clause defines the entitlement of employees to take paid time off from work each year. It typically specifies the number of leave days granted, the process for requesting leave, and any conditions or restrictions, such as notice periods or blackout dates. This clause ensures employees have the opportunity to rest and recharge while providing clear guidelines for both employers and employees, thereby preventing misunderstandings and supporting workforce well-being.

Annual Leave a. Entitlement
i) After the end of each completed twelve (12) months of continuous employment, an employee is entitled to not less than four (4) weeks' paid annual holidays.
ii) Annual holidays are paid at a rate that is based on the greater of:
1) The employee's ordinary weekly pay as at the beginning of the annual holiday; or
2) The employee's average weekly earnings for the twelve (12) months immediately before the end of the last pay period before the annual holiday.
iii) Annual holiday entitlement for all employees shall be as provided in the Holidays ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇.
iv) Unless otherwise requested by the employee payment for annual holidays will continue to be paid fortnightly while on leave.
b. Anticipated Leave
i) After six (6) months current continuous service, the employer shall not unreasonably withhold granting anticipated leave before an employee’s leave year entitlement is completed.
ii) An employee taking anticipated leave who leaves his / her employment prior to entitlement of annual holidays shall repay on termination any excess monies paid above the entitlement.
c. Taking Annual Leave
i) An employer must allow an employee to take annual holidays within twelve (12) months after the date on which the employee's entitlement to the holidays arose.
ii) If an employee elects to do so, the employer must allow the employee to take at least two (2) weeks of his or her annual holiday’s entitlement in a continuous period.
iii) When annual holidays are to be taken by the employee, the timing is to be agreed between the employer and employee.
iv) An employer must not unreasonably withhold consent to an employee's request to take annual holidays.
v) Unless agreed to by the employer, annual leave shall be taken within twelve (12) months of when the annual leave accrued.
vi) In the event of a conflict between two or more employees over the taking of annual holidays at the same period, and, where it is impracticable for both or all of the employees to be absent at the same time, priority will be given by the employer to employees in the order in which the leave applications are received by the employer.
Annual Leave. Employees (other than casuals) will be entitled to four (4) weeks paid annual leave per annum, provided that Continuous Shiftworkers shall be entitled to one additional week’s paid annual leave.
Annual Leave. A. Employee requests for annual leave shall be granted unless approval would interfere with the conduct of the essential functions of the agency or relevant organizational component.
B. Requests for annual leave will be approved or denied by the date the leave is needed, but no later than ten (10) workdays after receipt of the request (or after any deadline established by the supervisor as described as follows). If the Employer expects that there will be a need to limit the number of employees on leave (or the length of their leave) during periods of time when leave is in high demand (such as summer and holidays), the Employer will request leave plans from employees and set a reasonable deadline for those plans. Requests will normally be approved in the order received. If multiple requests are received at the same time, any conflict between such requests will be resolved based on agency seniority, absent mission, staffing, or workload requirements.
C. Requests for the reasonable use of annual leave before it is accrued should be granted. Supervisors may disapprove requests for advanced annual leave in circumstances when it contributes to a demonstrated pattern of misuse or it is unlikely the employee will be able to repay the leave. Advanced leave is limited to the amount of annual leave the employee will earn during the remainder of the leave year. Advanced annual leave may be liquidated by applying earned annual leave to the negative leave balance. If an employee separates from federal employment before repaying the advanced leave, the employee may be required to repay the value of the leave, except in the case of disability or death.
D. At the employee's request, an approved absence that would otherwise be charged to sick leave may be charged to annual leave. Generally, annual leave may not be substituted for sick leave on a retroactive basis to avoid forfeiture of annual leave at the end of the leave year.
E. The following are legitimate reasons for the restoration of forfeited annual leave: administrative error when the error causes a loss of annual leave, e.g., a technical or clerical mistake in an employee's leave accrual or in leave usage that caused an employee to forfeit annual leave; an exigency of the public business or operational demand, which prevented the use of leave that had been scheduled and approved, in writing, before the start of the third biweekly pay period prior to the end of the leave year; or employee illness when annual leave i...
Annual Leave a. An employee may elect, with the consent of the employer subject to the Annual ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, to take annual leave not exceeding five days in single-day periods of part thereof, in any calendar year at a time or times agreed by the parties.
