Compassionate leave can be taken when a member of an employee's immediate family or household:

The compassionate leave can be taken as:

  • ​a single continuous 2 day period, or
  • 2 separate periods of 1 day each, or
  • any separate periods the employee and the employer agree.
An employee does not accumulate compassionate leave and it doesn't come out of their sick and carer's leave (or annual leave) balance. It can be taken any time an employee needs it.

  • incentive-based payments and bonuses
  • loadings

  • overtime
