Annual leave loading
Leave loading is an extra payment on top of your normal pay while on leave, commonly 17.5%. It comes from your award or enterprise agreement, not the NES, so check yours; some pay the higher of the loading or the shift penalties you would have earned.
Frequently asked questions
How does the annual leave calculator work?
Under the National Employment Standards, full-time and part-time employees get 4 weeks of annual leave a year based on their ordinary hours. The calculator multiplies your weekly hours by 4 and pro-rates it for the weeks you have worked, then converts it to days and pay.
How much annual leave do I get for a 38-hour week?
152 hours a year (38 × 4), which is 2.923 hours for each week worked, or about 0.0769 hours for every hour worked.
Do casual employees get annual leave?
No. Casual employees do not accrue paid annual leave; their 25% casual loading is paid instead. Shiftworkers covered by certain awards get an extra week.
