Outlines
π€ Understanding Sick Leave Accrual Based on High Court Ruling
This paragraph discusses a situation where the method of accruing sick leave was brought into question due to a high court ruling. Traditionally, employees working 7.6 hours a day would accrue 10 days of sick leave. However, a case arose from a company where employees worked 12-hour shifts, leading to discrepancies when sick leave was measured in days. Those working longer shifts were at a disadvantage since a sick day would cost them 12 hours instead of 7.6. The court ruling initially favored calculating sick leave in days, but this was overruled. Now, sick leave is calculated on a pro-rata basis, considering the actual hours worked. The key takeaway is that the information shared by Chester during the session was accurate and reflects the current legal standing. The paragraph concludes with a brief mention that the speaker will address the topic of reimbursements and cents per kilometer later, emphasizing the importance of becoming familiar with these concepts.

Transcripts
there was also a question around sick
leave and how that is accrued
what chester said in the session was
actually the correct
answer and the correct way to do it what
had happened was there was a high court
ruling that how the case came about is
normally people will work
7.6 hours each day so 38 hours
right and they will be entitled to 10
days of sick leave
but then what happened was they had this
company where
it was normal for them to do three
shifts of 12 hours a day
and when you measured in days at 7.6
hours
those people were disadvantaged because
if they were sick they were losing 12
hours
and that was why the case came about to
sorry they wanted it to be done in days
so if they were sick it was
um you know 12 hours so what ended up
happening it was overruled
and so now um rather than setting it up
as a fixed
amount and saying this is how many hours
they work this is how many you know days
it is
we set it up as a variable so that it's
calculating um
a pro rata amount based on the hours
that they work and we will go through
that
um when we're actually looking at it and
going through it but the main thing is
that i need you to know is
that the information that chester shed
was correct because only recently that
high court ruling was overturned and now
we're going through
um to clean up the the situation so
i'm not great but anyway it has to be
done
all right um so that that was on
reimbursements and
on cents per kilometer and these are all
things that will become very
familiar to you and it's just about
becoming comfortable with the concepts
and and
you know knowing that they're there
