Common use of Trade Union Training Leave Clause in Contracts

Trade Union Training Leave. 27.1 Subject to any genuine operational requirements of a relevant work area, a Chief Executive shall approve special leave with pay to union members to attend trade union training courses organised and approved by the ACTU, SA Unions or the relevant registered Association/Union subject to the following conditions: 27.1.1 The employee is nominated for attendance at the course by the recognised organisation of which the employee is a member (a certificate of eligibility must be signed by the Secretary of the recognised organisation or a person nominated by the Secretary); and 27.1.2 The employee can be spared by the employer/agency. In deciding approvals, the work of the employer must be a priority and the privilege may be withdrawn at any time it is considered necessary, however the employee must not be unreasonably refused. 27.1.3 Special leave with pay may be granted to an eligible employee up to a maximum of the equivalent of 10 working days during two calendar years, to be calculated from the date the employee is first granted leave to attend a trade union training course. Special leave with pay in excess of this entitlement may be granted in special circumstances at the discretion of the chief executive, but in no case will the amount exceed the equivalent of 20 working days during two years. 27.1.4 All other costs related to the attendance at a course will be the responsibility of the nominating responsible organisation. 27.1.5 Where an employee is absent on trade union training on their programmed day off, such day will stand as the programmed day off. The employee is not permitted to substitute another day for the programmed day off. Accordingly, that day is not to be debited as training and the employee may use the day if additional trade union training is sought later in that two calendar period.
