Private Sector Leave Guidelines
These guidelines have been developed, in consultation with peak bodies, for all private sector employers. Federal, State, Territory and Local Governments and their instrumentalities are covered under separate policies.
The business environment is complex and multi-faceted. A single solution will not suit all circumstances. Accepting this, the aim of these guidelines is to provide a model of supportive arrangements and practices that is of general application.
The guidelines provide clear direction to employers, Reservists and the Defence Force in relation to Reservists employed in the private sector. Employers are strongly encouraged to adopt the guidelines as a best-practice model for supportive workplace arrangements and practices.
