In a landmark decision, 11 million Australian workers will soon be entitled to 10 days of paid family, and domestic violence leave.
Employment and Workplace Relations Minister Tony Burke revealed that more than 11 million Australian workers, including casual and part-time workers, will soon be entitled to 10 days of paid family and domestic violence (FDV) leave.
The decision comes as a result of the Federal Government’s commitment to add paid domestic violence leave to the National Employment Standards (NES), giving full access to 8.5 million workers. This follows on a preliminary decision by the Fair Work Commission, which provided 2.7 million workers covered by modern awards with access to paid FDV leave.
