For some employers the critical issue will be the last minute amendment to the Act, compelling employers who already provide paid leave of one kind or another, to continue such paid leave, in addition, to the current benefit. EAS Pty Ltd is getting further information about this. Please contact them on 1300 900 300 for further information.

The Act also provides benefits in relation to sharing leave, and to its coverage, than has been part of the public debate. Please read the attachment carefully.
