Special Leave Available for Major Transport Disruptions


Members who may have been affected by the recent travel disruptions are reminded that if you were unable to attend work you may apply for special leave to cover your absence.

The relevant provision in the WaterNSW Enterprise Agreement 2021 is Clause 5.18 Special leave – Other, which states:

5.18 Special leave –  other

(a) WaterNSW may grant an employee special leave on full pay for other purposes set out in this Agreement or that may arise, including but not limited to:

(i)   emergency or weather conditions such as when flood, fire, snow or disruption to utility services  etc.,  threatens  an  employee’s  property  and/or  prevents  an  employee  from  attending work; and

(ii)  attendance at court by an employee who is required as a witness when summonsed by a court but only if WaterNSW considers the granting of special leave to be appropriate in a particular case.

For further information or assistance please do not hesitate to contact the CPSU NSW on 1300 772 679.
