LEAVE DIRECTIVES DURING THE HOLDAY CLOSURE

BIAV’s HR Advisors, HR Advice Online advise that prior to directing employees to take a period of annual leave at any time, including during a business closure period, such as Christmas time, there is a requirement to confirm that:

  • There is an entitlement to direct an employee to take leave under any applicable industrial instrument, and if so,

  • Any requirement to provide a minimum period of notice of the requirement to take leave is adhered to.

  • Employees are provided with the relevant notice of a temporary shutdown, and;

  • That the requirement to take annual leave is reasonable.
