Sick Leave Sample Clauses
The Sick Leave clause establishes an employee's right to take time off from work due to illness or injury. Typically, it outlines the amount of paid or unpaid leave available, the process for notifying the employer, and any documentation required, such as a doctor's note for extended absences. This clause ensures that employees can recover from health issues without fear of losing their job or income, thereby promoting workplace well-being and providing clear guidelines for both employers and employees regarding absences due to sickness.

Sick Leave. 18.1 In applying the provisions of this clause the parties note:
(a) On appointment to a DHB, a fulltime employee shall be entitled to ten (10) working days leave for sick or domestic purposes during the first twelve months of employment, and up to an additional ten (10) working days for each subsequent twelve month period. The entitlement shall be pro-rated for part time employees except that a part time employee shall receive no fewer than five (5) working days sick leave for the first twelve months of employment and a minimum of five (5) additional working days for each subsequent twelve month period. From 1 March 2012 where a part-time employee has used her/his sick leave, on a case-by-case basis, a calculation comparing actual hours versus contracted hours will be done and if additional sick leave is the result, it will be granted. Calculation is based on the anniversary of the employee’s start date.
(b) Employees who move between DHBs will take their accrued sick leave balance with them. Future annual sick leave entitlement will be on the date of their anniversary when they received their last allocation of sick leave at their previous DHB. Employees who move to another DHB after a break of 3 months or more and who are not involved in midwifery-related activities, will not be able to take their sick leave balance with them and will be allocated sick leave based on 18.1 (a).
(c) The employee shall be paid at relevant daily pay as prescribed in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, for the first five days in each twelve month period. Thereafter they shall be paid at the ordinary rates of pay (T1 rate only). A medical certificate may be required to support the employee’s claim.
(d) In the event an employee has no entitlement left, she/he may be granted an additional 10 days per annum. In considering the grant of leave under this clause the employer shall recognise that discretionary sick and domestic leave is to ensure the provision of reasonable support to staff having to be absent from work where their entitlement is exhausted. Requests should be considered at the closet possible level of delegation to the employee and in the quickest time possible, taking into account the following: • The employee’s length of service • The employee’s attendance record • The consequence of not providing the leave • Any unusual and/or extenuating circumstances
(e) Reasons for a refusal shall, when requested by the employee, be given in writing and before refusing a request, the decis...
