Annual Leave
Teaching Service
Overview
Full-time employees are entitled to 152 hours (20 days) annual leave per annum. Part-time employees receive an annual leave entitlement on a pro rata basis calculated according to the time fraction worked.
Annual leave accrues at the rate of 1/12 of the annual entitlement (12.66 hours for a full time employee) for each completed month of employment. Service for annual leave accrual purposes includes all periods of:
- duty
- paid leave
- leave without pay not exceeding one month in any calendar year.
Employees are expected to use annual leave during school holiday periods unless otherwise approved. Public holidays that fall during a period of annual leave are not regarded as part of that leave.
