Leave Without Pay — Teaching Service

Introduction

Employees may be granted leave without pay for periods of up to 12 months for a range of reasons including:

• family reasons
• study or training
• employment, including self-employment
• travel
• participate in, officiate at and, or train for sporting events
• pursuing the development of personal interests
• undertaking voluntary work, including participation in community and international aid programs
• campaigning for public office (other than an employee standing for a federal election who is required to resign)
• any other reason considered appropriate by the delegate

Leave without pay in excess of 12 months, including extending a period of leave, may be granted where the delegate considers this is warranted.

Employees may also need to seek approval to engage in Other Employment during a period of leave without pay.
