Adding a Domestic Violence Leave entry

Adding a Domestic Violence Leave entry

All employees in the Fair Work system (including part-time and casual employees) will be entitled to 10 days of paid family and domestic violence leave in a 12-month period. This new entitlement replaces the existing entitlement to 5 days of unpaid family and domestic violence leave under the National Employment Standards (NES). 

Employees are entitled to the full 10 days upfront, meaning they won’t have to accumulate it over time. The leave doesn't accumulate from year to year if it isn’t used. 

Family and Domestic Violence Leave should be recorded in pays from February 1st, 2023 for businesses with 15 or more employees and August 1st, 2023, for businesses with less than 15 employees.

Further information about Family and Domestic Violence Leave can be found here: ATO Information
