This article will assist you in calculating the leave accrual rates in the awards for your employees.
1. The below calculation are based on a standard
- 4 weeks Annual Leave
- 2 weeks Sick leave (10 days)
- 8.667 weeks of long service leave after 10 years of employment.
| Full Time / Piece rate (Year) | Part-Time (Hourly) | Casual (Hourly) | |
| Annual Leave (AL) | Full-time hours per week x 4 weeks = Accrual in hours per year | 0.07692 | NA |
| Sick Leave (SL) | Full-time hours per week x 2 = Accrual in hours per year | 0.03846 | NA |
| Long Service Leave (LSL) | Full-time hours per week x 0.8667 = Accrual in hours per year | 0.01654 | |
Eg: If you want to work out the accrual rate for a Full Timer who works 90 hours per fortnight
Work out hours per week = 90/2 = 45 hours per week
| Full Time / Piece rate | |
| Annual Leave (AL) | 45 x 4 weeks = 180 as a yearly setting |
| Sick Leave (SL) | 45 x 2 = 90 as yearly setting |
| Long Service Leave (LSL) | 45 x 0.8667 = 39.0015 as yearly setting |
2. If your specific leave entitlements are different, you can work out leave accrual by.
- Identify the Annual Leave entitlement per week applicable to you under your scenario.
- Identify the Long Service Leave entitlement per week applicable to you under your scenario.
- Identify the Sick Leave entitlement by day applicable to you under your scenario.
| Full Time / Piece rate (Yearly) | Part-Time (Hourly) | Casual (Hourly) | |
| Annual Leave (AL) | Full-time hours per week x Total AL entitlement in weeks = Accrual in hours per year | Accrual in hours per year / (Full-time hours per week x 52) = Accrual in hours per hour | NA |
| Sick Leave (SL) | Full-time hours per week x Total SL entitlement in days = Accrual in hours per year | Accrual in hours per year / (Full-time hours per week x 52) = Accrual in hours per hour | NA |
| Long Service Leave (LSL) | Full-time hours per week x (LSL entitlement in weeks / Entitlement Period in years) = Accrual in hours per year | Accrual in hours per year / (Full-time hours per week x 52) = Accrual in hours per hour | |
