Maternity and paternity leave<br />
<strong>All</strong> employees (except Casuals and Independent Contractor’s) are<br />
entitled to 4 months maternity leave after 1 year of service at full pay.<br />
You may apply for an additional 2 months, which will be unpaid, and<br />
subject to management approval.<br />
In total, you would need to work back 12 months, on your return.<br />
An additional 2 days will be granted as Paternity leave for those with<br />
more than 1 year of service (only for birth or adoption).<br />
Sick leave<br />
For auditing purposes, we all need to capture our sick leave correctly<br />
in accordance with the number of days you were booked off. For<br />
example, if the doctor booked you off for 3 days, the system needs<br />
to balance according to your medical certificate.<br />
If you are ill:<br />
You need to take all reasonable steps to notify your Manager,<br />
(preferably before 10:00 in the morning),<br />
Original medical certificates must be submitted for any sick leave<br />
taken on a Monday or Friday, or the day before and after a public<br />
holiday,<br />
Sick Leave in excess of two (2) consecutive working days will only<br />
be granted as paid sick leave, if you submit an original medical<br />
certificate from your doctor,<br />
Requests for sick leave must be made through the APS User Self<br />
Service process (refer to page 24 and 25),<br />
Should your leave not balance according to the medical<br />
certificate, <strong>ADvTECH</strong> reserves the right to investigate.<br />
Study leave<br />
<strong>All</strong> employees are entitled to 10 days study leave per annum, which<br />
does not carry over to the new year.<br />
This is for the day before and the day of the exam, as well as study<br />
blocks but you would need to discuss this with your manager.<br />
Family responsibility leave<br />
You are entitled to 3 days family responsibility leave in a 12-month<br />
