Paid Personal Need Clause Samples

Paid Personal Need. Leave An employee is entitled to paid Personal Need Leave for any genuine purpose relating to his/her sickness, ill-health, domestic caring responsibilities, the serious illness or death of someone close to the employee or for any other reason of a genuine personal nature that, by its nature, does not permit an employee to attend work where the circumstances are of an urgent nature and are neither foreseeable or capable of being planned in advance. Leave for the purpose of this Clause operates entirely on the basis of trust and the employee’s genuine assessment of the need to take that leave. Subject to sub-clause 17.1.1, such leave is not restricted in terms of the number of days that can be taken (within the accrued entitlements held by the employee at any given time) and will be subject to clause 17.
