 What is Annual Leave, Personal Leave & Long Service Leave

Annual leave, personal leave, and long service leave are different types of leave entitlements that employees may receive.   They vary depending on the relevant Award and company policies.

Annual Leave:  Time off that employees accrue over a year of employment. Typically a full time employee gets 4 weeks of annual leave per year. 


Personal Leave:  Also referred to as sick leave, is provided to employees for absences due to illness, injury, or medical appointments. This is generally 2 weeks per year.


Long Service Leave: is provided to employees who have worked for a specific period with the same employer, usually 10 years.  Difference awards and different states have specific rules regarding Long Service Leave.  Seek specialist advice for paying this entitlement.
