Covid- sick Leve

Question

Hello Community,&nbsp;I am after some advice. Can someone tell me where I find how much Sick Leave is owing and how it works.Do we accumulate 10 days a year of sick leave?Is it registered as Hours.I have an employee off again for Covid and he has asked for a form or something to say he is what he is owed, if anything as he could claim some wages while off. He had time off this year due to being in hospital for unrelated Covid or work issues so had to use time there.Much appreciated.

Hi&nbsp;I have included a link to fairwork ombudsman site which explains all&nbsp;https://coronavirus.fairwork.gov.au/coronavirus-and-australian-workplace-laws/pay-leave-and-stand-downs/quarantine-self-isolation&nbsp;The leave you accrue is determined by the award you are paid under. So yes usually 10 days, usually accrues in hours per pay. It can be shown on the employees payslip but if not you should be able to go to the entitlements for the employee in their card and it will show leave accrued and taken and what remains. the employee can choose to take unpaid leave or access their annual leave.&nbsp;Hope that helps&nbsp;Lisa&nbsp;&nbsp;
