You cannot use personal leave during parental leave however, even if "unfit" due to approaching birthdate, its only very few occassions and employee can use their personal leave.
Just for interest sake; an employee who is on Annual Leave and gets sick can then use their personal leave for the time they were unwell on annual leave, so this may mean annual leave being re...

There are most certainly some considerations to think about with this legislation coming in!

Megansant, it sounds like, from reading some of your other posts you could really locate this information internally, you should have protocols, or previous examples of such that you can review for...
Any appointments/ calendar events within my organisation are always in accordance with a standard protocol.
Is this what your asking for? I don’t quite understand......
Thanks for sharing your input!
Although I somewhat agree with that you have said. I don’t think you can always exclude termination as an option in the long term.
For example an employee who has...
Hi All,
Just wondering on everyone's thoughts regarding long term illness in the workplace and at what point should the employer decide to terminate the employment contract?
I'll just put it out there, I have had a case go to hearing for unfair dismissal that was a resignation. The employee resigned, definately was not forced, and was still heard. Just thought you may...

Sorry, I didn't see your reply QLD IR Consultant when i posted.
We should keep in mind, employees can claim after 6 months, 12 months for small business employers.
I have an interesting case before me at the present, if you would care to share your thoughts that would be great.
I have an employer who has made a person redundant and consequently paid them...
Brooke,
I would go to your current employer and explore the possibility of them partly funding for your 'professional development'. A lot of the employers would prefer you already have them...
I have never worked anywhere where AL has not been on the payslip! Some places personal leave has also been there and others LSL in stead.
Interesting Moz!
Agreeing with Greg, the leave is...
Moz I agree!! Adverse action could be it especially if she takes the option of 'carer's responsibilities' for being the reason for requesting part time
I agree with Greg, you have to remember lodging a claim for unfair dismissal is then out in the open for any future employers to come across.
You could always try and discuss with your current...
Hi All,
I was wanting to find out everyone's thoughts on the WHS legislation, how does everything think this will affect modern workplaces?
Hi Show,
I'm not from the government sector but I think the classifications are aligned with experience, you don't start at the bottom just because you are coming from the private sector.
I would consider contacting any police officers involved in the application of the AVO, often they can include flexibility for these extreme circumstances.
I don't know that you can rightfully...
In relation to "probations" you cannot get someone to "mutually agree" to an extension, what you are saying to them is we aren't convinced your fulfilling the role at this stage so either we...
When caring for family members it is referred to in the NES. Compassionate leave can be taken: Paid compassionate leave = 2 days per occasion.
Unpaid carer’s leave can be taken in one continuous...
I agree with Moz on this one.
Also don't forget to keep this information on file soyou have evidence event a claim is brought against the employer.
Hi All,
I was just wondering on the outcome of this issue?
I don't believe it is forcing Annual Leave- you are not making the person take the leave only saying that if the leave is to be taken...
