Accumulation of sick leave Under the Holidays Act 2003 an employee can carry over unused sick leave. For example, if someone uses only one day's sick leave from the five day entitlement in a 12 month period, he or she may carry over the other four days, so in the next 12 month period the total entitlement is nine days' sick leave. The maximum accumulation under the Act is 20 days' leave, although employment agreements can provide more generous accumulation.
Accumulated sick leave cannot normally be exchanged for cash, nor form part of any final payment to the employee on resignation or termination, unless the employment agreement requires this.
Sick leave entitlements are not pro-rated in any way. For example, even if a part-time employee works three days a week, she or he becomes entitled to five days' sick leave a year after being in employment for six months. Sick leave can also accumulate to up to 20 days for part-time employees.作者: 八卦专用小号 时间: 2011-1-27 16:07:33
15个月的年假 definitely yes
5天的病假 maybe not. You might entitle to special leave due to preganency, which is for your doctor visit etc. But you can not claim sick leave for parental leave purpose.作者: kisses 时间: 2011-1-27 16:11:49
