Who gets paid sick and carer's leave
All employees except casuals are entitled to paid sick and carer’s leave. This entitlement comes from the National Employment Standards.
Employees may have to give notice or evidence to get paid for sick and carer’s leave. Go to the Notice and medical certificates page for more information.
When can an employee take paid sick leave
Full-time and part-time employees can take paid sick leave if they can’t work because of a personal illness or injury. Employees must provide evidence to their employer if requested.
Example: Taking paid sick leave
Fiona is a full-time senior accounts manager in an advertising firm. She’s currently experiencing severe dizziness and joint pains associated with menopause. This is affecting her ability to work.
She speaks to her doctor who determines that Fiona isn’t fit for work and recommends that Fiona take 2 weeks off work while she manages her symptoms.
Fiona has an accumulated sick leave balance of more than 8 weeks.
Fiona provides her employer with a medical certificate to cover the 2 weeks of leave.
