Sick leave entitlements for non-teachers
The table on this page shows the sick leave that will be accrued based on a non-teacher's accumulated service.
See Sick leave for non-teachers.
'Per year' means 365 days of service.
To estimate the next sick leave entitlement date for an employee, contact the Education Payroll Service Centre and ask them to work out how long until the employee reaches their next entitlement. An employee's current sick leave entitlement can be found on the School Annual and Sick Leave report.
Important:
Ensure you read the relevant employment agreement carefully for full details of their leave provisions.
See the Ministry of Education's website: Employment agreements
