just with leave..don't know sa private as i work for nsw health which is govt. we don't get the sick leave until 3 months in the job. so if i get sick prior to the 3 months period..unpaid sick leave po yun.
maternity leave is 3 months paid generally..for PR you can leave for 6 months pero paid is 3 months then unpaid yung remaining 3 but job is secured for the total of 6 months.
kaya nga yung problem with business class visas/ work visas, may provisions po dun if the primary applicant is unable to work for 2-3 months you can actually lose the visa for the entire family i know a nurse who actually lost their visas because she got pregnant and may complications and had to leave for more than the maternity leave period.
and also there's a forumer who separated with her hubby who is the primary applicant but won't be coming to aus anymore.. stand ko dun is that they will still lose their visas kasi nga sa provision na the primary applicant must not leave or be out of work for more the 2-3 months or the family loses the visa.
but since separated sila.. there might be a solution to their problem.
annual leave is accumulative, sa nsw health po is you can cash it IF only you leave nsw. but if you just move to another workplace within nsw health then it just get transferred to that other hospital. if you leave the country you can cash it also and will be paid on your last pay cheque.
sick leave is not accumulative. if you don't use it..you lose it.
meron po bereavement leave pero 3 days lang naman. paid po yan.
meron mental health day.. for stress and depression. 3 days lang din i think.
meron din personal leave..pero that's actually part and parcel of sick leave like if my child or hubby gets sick. so it's not a separate number of days po sa amin.
to make most of salary and cut back on tax.. most govt institutions have salary packaging. may certain amount per year na you can salary package..usually 9000aud plus per year then divided po yan to number of pay cheques in a year. that's money you get back instead of ALL your salary being taxed, they give you back a portion from the salary packaged amount. paki google na lang po..kasi hirap to explain kasi walang ganito sa pinas.
