Sick leave will now become personal carers leave due to transferring to the federal system. The entitlement to the number of days remains the same however AU would like to be able to request evidence of a medical certificate at any point, they are removing the minimum of: - 2 consecutive days; and/or - 5 days within a calendar year.Do you believe you should have to provide evidence of your illness at the discretion of management? Yes No OK Question Title * 4. Due to the movement from the State industrial system to the Federal Industrial system AU has to comply with the Federal legislation. In complying, it requires that compassionate leave is supplied to employees at a minimum of 2 days off per death or life-threatening illness of an immediate family member. It is similar to FACS leave, however, does not include instances of emergency family responsibilities or emergency weather conditions which prevent you from reporting for work or threatens your property. Due to the legislation FACS leave cannot be directly imported into the enterprise agreement. However, it does not prevent leave being created in some way to reflect the gaps that are in the prescribed compassionate leave. Where compassionate leave falls short of FACS leave do you want those gaps reflected in the enterprise agreement? No Yes OK Question Title * 5.
