Sick Leave - Au

Unpaid carer's leave does not get deducted from a member's sickness leave balance. This means that taking unpaid carer's leave will not affect the amount of sickness leave that a member has available to them.

Australia's accrual type for sick leave is monthly. This means that employees in Australia typically accrue a certain number of sick leave days per month, which can be used when they are unable to work due to illness or injury. This accrual system allows employees to gradually build up their sick leave entitlement over time, ensuring that they have a sufficient amount of leave available when needed.

The member needs to submit the application for salary continuance to the insurer. The insurer is responsible for providing insurance coverage and handling claims related to salary continuance. They have the authority to review the application, assess eligibility, and make decisions regarding the continuation of salary payments. The insurer is the appropriate party to handle this process, as they have the necessary expertise and resources to manage insurance-related matters.

If a member had 5 occasions of unpaid carer's leave in 6 months, it means that the member took 5 days off for caregiving responsibilities. Each occasion of unpaid carer's leave corresponds to one day off, so if there were 5 occasions, the member has taken a total of 5 days off. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.

If the member took 10 days of sick leave, and 2 of those days were public holidays, then those 2 days should not be counted as part of the sick leave. Therefore, the member was actually on sick leave for 8 days, not 10.

The explanation for the answer "No" is that the management of a member's sickness work-related accident in VIC will not be the same as a member's sickness work-related accident in QLD. This suggests that there are differences in the way these two regions handle and manage such accidents, possibly due to variations in legislation, policies, or procedures. Without further information, it is difficult to determine the specific reasons for the difference in management.

Sick leave does not require approval from GHRMS.

There is only one sick leave absence type in AU.

If the member took 15 days of sick leave and 1 of those days was a public holiday, it means that the member was actually on sick leave for 15 days. The public holiday does not count towards the total number of sick leave days. Therefore, the member was on sick leave for 15 days in total.

The answer "No" indicates that not all members gradually returning from sick leave need to change to part-time status. This suggests that the decision to change to part-time status is not a blanket requirement for all members, but rather depends on individual circumstances. The phrase "case to case basis" further supports this explanation, implying that each situation should be evaluated separately to determine if a change to part-time status is necessary. Therefore, the correct answer is "No".

Managers cannot book sick leave on behalf of their members. Sick leave is a personal matter and employees are responsible for informing their managers about their absence due to illness and requesting sick leave themselves. Managers may have the authority to approve or deny sick leave requests, but they cannot initiate the process on behalf of their members.

Members can file a claim of salary continuance if they were sick due to an accident. This implies that they are eligible to receive their salary even if they are unable to work due to an accident-related illness. The approval of HR is not mentioned as a requirement, indicating that members can directly file a claim without HR's involvement.

The answer "No" suggests that sick leave is not automatically approved in LPS. This implies that employees need to request sick leave and it is subject to approval by the relevant authority.

Sick leave entitlement is not prorated for full-time members. This means that regardless of the number of hours worked or the length of employment, full-time members are entitled to the same amount of sick leave. Unlike part-time or casual employees whose entitlement may be prorated based on the number of hours worked, full-time members receive the full sick leave entitlement.

The correct answer is "No". This means that sickness entitlement does not get prorated only for new joiners. It implies that both new joiners and leaving members are not subject to prorating of sickness entitlement.
