Paid family and domestic violence leave for some employees

From 1 February 2023, employees of non-small business employers (employers with 15 or more employees on 1 February 2023) can access 10 days of paid family domestic violence leave. This includes part-time and casual employees.

Employees employed by small business employers (employers with less than 15 employees on 1 February 2023) can access paid leave from 1 August 2023. Until then, they can continue to take unpaid family and domestic violence leave.

Is your business ready? Modified your policies, adapted your HR recording system, spoken to your staff. (Note – even Xero Payroll can’t yet manage elements of this with recommendations that Employer also maintain a separate record of use)

With this leave type there are some specific rules – such as the 10 days resets on the anniversary date of an employees commencement, it is a draw down leave entitlement not a pro rata accumulation of entitlement, evidence requirements are defined and it can’t be recorded on payslips (risk from perpetrators).
