-
Daily

Annually

Monthly
Correct Answer
A. MonthlyExplanation
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.Rate this question:

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.

-
No
-
Case to case basis
-
Yes
-
Option 4
Correct Answer
A. NoExplanation

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".Rate this question:
