Clause 2 also makes it clear
that annual leave is in addition to rest days and
statutory holidays.
Clause 3 is designed to make it clear that
a day's pay is due for each and every day of annual
leave and e.g. that an employee cannot be deprived of
such a day's pay by treating it as a rest day.
Clause 4(a) provides that once an employee
completes a period of 12 months service, he is entitled
to 7 days annual leave pay for that service regardless
of how his contract is terminated. Clause 4(b) provides,
where the period of service is less than 12 months, for proportionate entitlement to annual leave pay in
certain circumstances if the period of service is 3 months or more, (instead of more than 3 months, as at
present).
This Bill does not have any public finance or Public Service staffing implications.
