📜 29.4 Payment for annual leave

(a) Instead of the base rate of pay as referred to in section 90(1) of the Act, an employee under this award, before going on annual leave, must be paid the wages they would have received in respect of the ordinary hours the employee would have worked had the employee not been on leave during the relevant period. During a period of annual leave an employee will also receive a loading as follows:

(i) Day workers

Employees who would have worked on day work only had they not been on leave—17.5% loading.

(ii) Shiftworkers

Employees who would have worked on shiftwork had they not been on leave—17.5% loading or the shift loading, whichever is the greater but not both.

(b) Subject to clause 29.4(c), the wages to be paid must be worked out on the basis of what the employee would have been paid under this award for working ordinary hours during the period of annual leave, including first aid allowance and any other wages payable under the employee’s contract of employment including any over award payment.

(c) The employee is not entitled to payments in respect of overtime, special rates or any other payment which might have been payable to the employee as a reimbursement for expenses incurred.

Annual leave loading has been automated in the Vehicle Repair, Services and Retail Managed Template.

When a full time or part time employee is on a period of annual leave, the appropriate leave loading allowance will automatically apply in the timesheet based on the period of leave requested.

When the leave request is generated, a leave loading allowance will automatically trigger in the timesheet.

The leave loading rate will apply based on the rate that would have applied to the time if worked.

For example, an employee takes leave during a period they would have worked a night shift.

The leave loading allowance that triggers for this leave request applies an additional 0.30x for the leave hours in line with the penalty that would have applied to the time worked.
