Some awards and registered agreements allow an employee to take annual leave in advance when their employer agrees in writing. The agreement usually needs to:
- be signed by both the employer and the employee
- be signed by the employee's parent or guardian if the employee is under 18 years of age
- say how much annual leave is being taken in advance
- say the date the leave will start. The employer must keep the agreement with the employee's records. If an employee takes leave in advance and their employment ends before they've accumulated it all back, some awards and agreements allow the employer to deduct the amount still owing from their final pay. For employees under 18 years of age, a parent or guardian must also agree in writing to the deduction.
