Hi HR Buzz
Just wondering if you can give me some advice........we have a worker who was injured just prior to Xmas. The injured worker was deemed unfit for work over the xmas and NY period (he had a certificate to cover the period). Every year we have an annual shut down, therefore this worker was well aware that they would be taking annual leave over xmas and NY. Does anyone know if this worker should be paid annual leave or workers compensation for this period. I am receiving conflicting advice from the agent, worksafe and an employer industry group! So I thought I would ask for your thoughts!
Thanks Stephanie.
