Q: Employee has been away on ACC for approximately 2 years. Was on 8 Hours per days 40 hours per week prior to going on ACC.
The employee is now on a return to work program. Doing 20 Hours per week.
He is going to take Annual Leave annual leave for approximately 2 months – (All the Annual leave he accumulated while away on ACC)
Should his current Daily Rate be based on the 8 Hours or the 4 Hours?
I would presume 4 as if he is on a return to work program – He will be still being paid by ACC for the other 4 hours per day.
A: A week is by agreement so the present agreed week is what the leave is based on so the 20 hours (4 hours a day).
