Termination of Employment while on Personal Leave. UA shall not terminate the services of an Employee during the currency of any period of personal leave, with the object of avoiding obligations under this clause.

This entitlement to unpaid carer’s leave also applies to casual Employees, subject to meeting the evidentiary and notice requirements in clause 35.6.
