Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union

 

Does my workplace have paid special leave?

A:

At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, union members at worksites across the country fought for and won paid special leave which was critical for workers to stop the spread by being able to stay home when unwell, isolating or quarantining when other entitlements or support weren’t available.

Speak with your delegate or union to find out if paid special leave is available at your workplace
