Accruing leave

How leave accrues

Leave entitlements accrue in hours, based on your employment status:

• Full-time employee: 455 hours after eight years’ qualifying service.

• Part-time employee: accrues at a rate which reflects the number of hours worked each week. The maximum accrual is the equivalent of a full-time employee.

• Casual employee: accrues at a rate which reflects the number of hours worked each week, averaged over each quarter. The maximum accrual is the equivalent of a full-time employee.
