COVID-19 Annual Holidays Act Amendment – FAQ
NSW Parliament recently passed laws which will create greater flexibility for local government workers to access annual leave entitlements during and after the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Workers will continue to accrue annual leave if stood down without pay due to COVID-19 between 25 March 2020 and 26 March 2021.
Local government workers have the ability to cash out or take annual leave at half pay or double pay with the agreement of the employer on an ongoing basis.
