Part-Time Leave

Cadbury factory workers initially won a court case arguing their 12-hour shifts entitled them to 10 days of 12-hour sick leave, but this was overturned. Part-time employees under the Fair Work Act are entitled to pro-rata sick leave based on their hours, calculated annually and paid at their base rate. This leave accrues year-to-year but isn't paid out upon termination unless specified in their contract.
