LEAVE AND PUBLIC HOLIDAYS. 150 Employees are required to seek prior approval before taking leave except where unable to do so because of unexpected illness or injury. 151 Paid leave counts as service for all purposes. Unpaid leave does not count as service for any purpose and reduces the accrual of paid leave except where otherwise determined under legislation or otherwise specified in this Agreement or relevant DVA policy. 152 Unauthorised absence reduces accrual for all leave and does not count as service for any purpose. 153 An employee who has applied for or taken annual or long service leave may apply to cancel or recredit leave where they produce documentary evidence entitling them to other leave such as personal/carer’s leave under clause 164 a) or c), compassionate/bereavement leave, and community service leave. When other leave is granted, an equivalent amount of annual and/or long service leave will be re- credited. 154 Further guidance on leave is provided in the relevant DVA policy.

Annual leave accrues progressively. 156 The taking of annual leave is subject to the availability of credits and approval by the manager, in advance. The manager may grant annual leave at either full or half pay. Half pay annual leave will be deducted from leave credits at half the full pay rate. Part day absences will not be granted on half pay. Employees are encouraged to record part-day absences as flex leave or Time Off In Lieu rather than annual leave. 157 A manager and employee may agree in writing, on each occasion, for the employee to cash out up to 2 weeks of their annual leave provided the employee:
a) has taken at least three weeks of annual leave or long service leave at full pay or six weeks at half pay in the preceding 12 month period; and
b) would have an annual leave balance of at least four weeks after the cashout; and
c) has not cashed out any annual leave in the preceding 12 month period. 158 Payment will be at the actual rate of salary on the date of cashout, including allowances payable during annual leave, and will be subject to usual taxation rates. 159 If an employee exceeds the maximum annual leave balance of 10 weeks at 1 October in any year (or 30 November if agreed with the manager) the employee will be directed to take that excess leave until the employee no longer exceeds the maximum. 160 Further informatio...
