All About ADvTECH

MAKING ADvTECH A GREAT PLACE TO WORK CONTINUED
LEAVE
Our high performance culture consists of dedicated employees in
each business unit who keep the wheels turning and keep ADvTECH
sustainable as well as successful. We appreciate your hard work and
enthusiasm but you also need to take time out, whether you go on
vacation with your family or if you need to write an exam.

Maternity and paternity leave
All employees (except casuals and independent contractors)
are entitled to four months maternity leave after one year of service
at full pay.
You may apply for an additional two months, which will be unpaid,
and subject to management approval.
In total, you would need to work back 12 months, on your return.
An additional two days will be granted as paternity leave for those
with more than one year of service (only for birth or adoption).
* Not applicable to ADvTECH Resourcing.
Sick leave
For auditing purposes, if you take sick leave, you will need to capture
your sick leave correctly in accordance with the number of days you
were booked off. For example, if the doctor booked you off for three
days, the system needs to balance according to your medical
certificate.
If you are ill:
You need to take all reasonable steps to notify your manager,
(preferably before 10:00 in the morning).
Original medical certificates must be submitted for any sick leave
taken on a Monday or Friday, or the day before and after a public
holiday.
Sick leave of more than two consecutive working days will only
be granted as paid sick leave if you submit an original medical
certificate from your doctor.
Requests for sick leave must be made through the APS User Self
Service process (refer to page 24 and 25).
Should your leave not balance according to the medical
certificate, ADvTECH reserves the right to investigate.
Study leave
Employees are entitled to 10 days study leave per annum provided
they are registered for a full qualification, which does not carry over
to the new year.
This is for the day before and the day of the exam, as well as study
blocks – but you would need to discuss this with your manager.
Family responsibility leave
You are entitled to three days family responsibility leave in a
12-month period for:
Birth
Death
Illness of immediate family
