Hi @bibi2020 

 

Thanks for your post. I found this information on the Fairwork website:

 

Annual leave accumulates when an employee is on:

• paid leave such as paid annual leave and paid sick and carer's leave
• community service leave including jury duty
• long service leave.

Sick and carer's leave accumulates when an employee is on:

• paid leave such as annual leave and sick and carer's leave
• community service leave including jury duty
• long service leave.

These links to the Fairwork website have more information:

Annual Leave

Jury Duty

SIck and Carer's Leave

 

There's also this help article to assist you with recording this in your software:

Jury Duty

 

If you are unsure about your obligations I do recommend speaking to your accountant or Fairwork.

 

Please let me know if you need further help.
