Family Sick Leave An employee may use sick leave credits for family illness or injury only if the employee must provide direct care to an immediate family member. For purposes of family sick leave, “immediate family member” will mean the employee’s parent, spouse, or child, including step-child and xxxxxx child.
Paid Parental Leave In addition, if the Employee is entitled to paid parental leave under the Paid Parental Leave Act 2010 (Cth) (PPL Act) as the primary carer of the child:
Weekends Off In scheduling shifts the Hospital will endeavour to arrange schedules so as to provide for a minimum of eight (8) weekends off in every twenty-four (24) week period, and, in any event, at least one weekend off in each three (3) week period. Where a weekend off is not granted within a three (3) week period, time worked on such third weekend but not subsequent weekends shall be paid at the rate of time and one-half (1-1/2) unless the Hospital, notwithstanding its best efforts, was unable to meet this standard. This standard shall not apply where: (i) such weekend work was performed by the employee to satisfy specific days off requested by such employee; or (ii) such employee has requested weekend work, or was advised at the time of hire or when the job was posted that the regular schedule normally required continuous weekend work; or (iii) such weekend is worked as a result of an exchange of shifts with another employee; or (iv) the Hospital is unable to comply due to a prohibition against scheduling split days off. It is understood and agreed that there shall be no pyramiding of overtime premiums under the provisions of the Collective Agreement arising out of the foregoing undertakings. The foregoing shall have no application where other scheduling arrangements are provided acceptable to the Hospital and the employees affected and approved by the Union. If an employee who is called on their scheduled weekend off refuses a shift, the refused shift will not be counted as a refused shift, as they are entitled to the weekend off according to the collective agreement.
