Excess leave balances and access to leave
2 July 2020
The 色狼社区has been made aware of a number of members who are continuing to have problems accessing flex leave due to their excess leave balances.
This problem has only been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic and the inability for some individuals to take annual leave.
The 鈥Principles for requests to amend planned leave: Coronavirus context鈥 allows for a common sense approach to managing excess leave balances, including that 鈥淢anagers are required to take a sensible and considerate approach to managing excess leave during the Coronavirus outbreak鈥.聽 If employees have a plan for reducing any excess annual leave at a forward date (before 30 June 2021) this should be taken in to account.
The 色狼社区wishes to remind members who cannot access flex leave in equip due to an excess leave balance that they should email and clearly mark the email 鈥榯imesheet problem鈥 in the subject line.
If any member is continuing to experience difficulties, they are encouraged to contact the 色狼社区on 1800 772 679.
