General leave policy
Unless specified otherwise, employees referred to in this policy mean permanent full-time or part-time employees.

All employees are entitled to leave in accordance with the relevant awards or agreements and statutory provisions. Where the entitlements or practices in this document conflict, the applicable award, workplace agreement, employment contract or employment law takes precedence.

All planned leave has to be mutually agreed, and take into account workloads and the employee's needs. Leave must be approved in advance, except when the employee can't anticipate the absence. Any documents regarding leave will be kept on the employee's personnel file.
