TAFE NSW – Leave without pay – September 2017 (PDF version)
The CPSU NSW has received a number of enquiries relating to the rejection of Leave Without Pay and the issues this raises around the flexibility for our members to be able to balance their work and life obligations.
We have been advised there is a lack of clarity over Leave Without Pay and when it can and will be approved and if other forms of leave need to be taken first.
We are seeking feedback from our members to put together a submission to direct TAFE to have clear policy and guidelines around the approval process as well as consideration for members’ needs.
If you have had your Leave Without Pay declined recently, we’d like to hear from you.
Please provide your information to to allow the CPSU NSW to have a clear and concise view or the issues and give us the information to raise the concerns with TAFE.
If you have any concerns, please forward them to us at .
The CPSU NSW will be advocating for members only, so staff who are affected and not yet members will need to join the CPSU NSW today. If you know anyone in this position, please talk with them about joining now.
