State Service employees are entitled to 20 working days of recreation leave on full pay for each completed year of employment. The leave year starts on 1 October, however your leave entitlements will be pro-rata, based on the proportion of the leave year you have been employed.
Part-time employees accrue recreation leave on a pro rata basis according to the hours they work during a year.
If you become ill while taking annual leave, you can apply to deduct those days from your sick leave and have the days concerned re-credited to your recreation leave. You will need to provide a medical certificate.
