Common use of Infectious Diseases Leave Clause in Contracts

Infectious Diseases Leave. This is a new clause which moved the elements from the personal leave clause (cl 37.11 of current agreement) with improvements. The improved provisions require an employee to provide evidence that would satisfy a reasonable person of the need for the leave. Another change is that working from another location (e.g. working from home) should be considered prior to utilising recreation leave where an employee is required to self-isolate but is not suffering from the illness. There is a new sub clause 55.2 that acknowledges if an employee suffers an injury or disease in the course of their employment they may be eligible for workers compensation entitlements in accordance with the Return to Work Act 1986
