Q: Employee’s last day at work is 15 March. They will be paid out the notice period of 4 weeks (paid in lieu) and they have 3 weeks entitled annual leave to be paid out. Does the annual leave extend from 15 March? (which includes Easter) or does it extend from the end of the 4 week notice period, i.e. from 12 April? (which would include ANZAC day).

A: Notice period in lieu does not extend as it is being paid out, so the annual leave extends from the 15th March.
