LEAVE Annual leave. An employee’s entitlement to annual leave will be consistent with the NES contained in the FW Act. Annual leave shall accrue at the rate of three-hours per week (i.e. 36 ordinary hours) of service. If the Employee is a Continuous Shiftworker (as defined in this Agreement), the Employee shall accrue annual leave at the rate of 3.75 hours per week (i.e. 36 ordinary hours) of service. The Employer will not unreasonably refuse a request for annual leave by an Employee. Annual leave will be paid at the rate the Employee would have received if ordinary hours had been worked during the period of leave (including applicable allowances), plus a loading of 17.5%. At the termination of employment, the Employee will be paid out all outstanding annual leave entitlements, including the 17.5% loading. The annual leave will be paid out as if the Employee were taking leave, commencing from the end of the termination notice period. As such, any public holidays occurring during the period for which the annual leave entitlement applies, will be paid for in addition to the annual leave entitlement.
