End of unpaid pandemic Leave

Unpaid pandemic leave provisions in awards stop applying after 30 June 2022.

Previously, employees covered by affected awards could access up to 2 weeks’ unpaid pandemic leave if they were prevented from working for reasons relating to COVID-19.

Any unpaid pandemic leave that has already started on 30 June 2022 can continue after this date. However, new periods of leave can’t start after 30 June 2022.

Employers and employees now need to consider other leave options instead.
