Fair Work Act 2009

If, in accordance with this Subdivision, an employee takes a period of paid family and domestic violence leave, the employer must pay the employee, in relation to the period:

for an employee other than a casual employee—at the employee’s full rate of pay, worked out as if the employee had not taken the period of leave; or

for a casual employee—at the employee’s full rate of pay, worked out as if the employee had worked the hours in the period for which the employee was rostered.

Without limiting paragraph (1)(b), an employee is taken to have been rostered to work hours in a period if the employee has accepted an offer by the employer of work for those hours.

Paragraph (1)(b) does not prevent a casual employee from taking a period of paid family and domestic violence leave that does not include hours for which the employee is rostered to work. However, the employer is not required to pay the employee in relation to such a period.
