Now that I am working, I thought that it would be interesting to share some work related rules/policies particular to Australia. It is always interesting to hear how other countries deal with the same work issues.
All employees get a minimum of four weeks vacation. That means that every 3 months, I could take a one-week vacation! I LIKE that!!!! You have to accumulate the time before you can use it, so I have to work a few more months before I can take a week off. I know, I know. What a hardship! :-)
I believe that sick leave is limited to 10 days a year. Other than that, Australia has fewer holidays than Canada, leaving me with only 9 statutory holidays a year. There are no statutory holidays in winter (May to Aug). I think we should start planning a vacation for that time period. It gets really harsh here around that time. 8 C! :-)
