Full-time staff get 10 days of paid personal leave a year, accruing as they work and rolling over if unused. Estimate the balance accrued and what’s left.
traqR keeps an accurate record of the hours your team actually works — the basis your payroll needs to accrue leave correctly.
Start free trialFull-time employees get 10 days of paid personal/carer’s leave a year under the NES, accruing progressively as they work their ordinary hours.
Take the sick and carer’s leave already used off the accrued total to get the remaining balance, in hours and days.
Unused personal leave rolls over year to year, but unlike annual leave it’s generally not paid out when employment ends.
Under the National Employment Standards, full-time employees are entitled to 10 days of paid personal/carer’s leave per year. It’s a combined entitlement covering both when the employee is unwell (sick leave) and when they care for an immediate family or household member (carer’s leave). Part-time employees get it pro-rata based on their hours.
Yes. Unused personal/carer’s leave accumulates from year to year with no cap under the NES, so a long-serving employee can build a sizeable balance. This is why some employees rarely run out even after time off.
No. Unlike annual leave, accrued personal/carer’s leave is generally not paid out on termination. The dollar value shown here is what the balance is worth in wages if the leave is taken while employed — it’s not a payout figure.
Casual employees don’t accrue paid personal/carer’s leave; the casual loading (commonly 25%) compensates for that. They are, however, entitled to a short period of unpaid carer’s leave. This calculator is for full-time and part-time employees who accrue paid leave.
This calculator is a general estimate, not payroll or legal advice. Personal/carer’s leave accrual and rules depend on the National Employment Standards, the award or agreement and employment type. Confirm entitlements with Fair Work and your accountant or payroll provider.
