The Fair Work Commission is considering a proposal that would insert the right into industry awards for greater flexibility in terms of paid time off, with the possibility that staff could double their leave by taking half of it at half pay. Unions and employer groups are understood to be in agreeance that the right to request leave at half pay should lie with the employee rather than the employer, but Australian Industry Group CEO Innes Willox says it is essential that such arrangements are by agreement, given that employers may find it hard to accommodate longer staff absences.
