Employee leave entitlements during COVID-19 (Queensland)

If you are unsure as to the requirements around pay and employees during isolation periods or where a staff member is isolating awaiting test results, please refer to the below information kindly provided by HR Dynamics Team.

Casual Employees

• Employee is on unpaid leave until they receive a negative test
• If the employee receives negative test they can return to work
• If an employee tests positive, continue unpaid leave

Part Time and Full Time Employees

• Employee can use accrued leave (Annual, TOIL, RDO, ADO) until they receive a negative test
• If the employee does not have enough, or any, accrued leave it will be unpaid leave until they receive a negative test
• If the employee receives negative test they can return to work
• If the employee tests positive, and they are sick or unwell, the employee can at that point move from using accrued leave to using personal/sick leave
• If the employee does not have enough or any personal/sick leave, it will be unpaid leave

Public Holidays

• If a Part-Time employee is home quarantining/isolating and one of those days falls on a public holiday, then they would receive ordinary time for that day, if that is a day they would normally be rostered to work.
• If a Full-Time employee is home quarantining/isolating and one of those days falls on a public holiday, then they would receive ordinary time for that day.
