Personal/Carers Leave – Decision has been reversed by the High Court
What is the change?
The Federal Court of Australia made a decision in August last year that changed how personal/carer’s leave (Personal Leave) operated under the Fair Work Act 2009. In that decision, it was clarified that all permanent employees (including part-time) were entitled to 10 paid days of Personal Leave regardless of how many days they worked per week.
This decision was appealed to the High Court of Australia. The High Court has overturned the decision.
