As same sex marriage is legalised in more states in America, what implications does the US Supreme Court Ruling have for the same sex marriage debate in Australia?
A. No, you can only use an administrative leave day, personal holiday or vacation day. Sick time with pay is defined as a necessary period of absence because of illness or exposure to contagious disease. The illness of an employee should be recorded in the Absence Reporting System as S for sick. Sick time should not be taken for attending planned, routine medical or dental appointments.
Similarly, an employer may choose to cap an employeeâs annual accrual of paid sick leave to 48 hours per year. Accrued sick leave shall carry over to the following year, although an employer may limit an employeeâs use of paid sick days to 24 hours or three days in each year of employment. No accrual or carry over is required if the full amount of leave is received at the beginning of each year.
