Staff do not receive annual leave in bulk at the end of the year, instead it is received on a monthly basis. This means staff do not have to wait until the end of the first year to take annual leave, they are able to take it as it accrues.
For staff working full-time (1.0 FTE), annual leave is accrued (increased) each calendar month by 1.6667 full-time days to a maximum of 20 full-time days each anniversary2 year.
For part-time staff, annual leave is calculated by the following formula:
1.667 full-time days x your current fraction x 12 months
