Shona is a registered volunteer for Victoria's State Emergency Service and has been asked to volunteer for one week in response to a bushfire. Fair Work Infoline: 13 13 94 Shona would really like to help, but wants to know whether she can take time off work and whether she is entitled to any income. Shona looks on the FWO's website to check her entitlements. Shona finds that her award does not provide for any payment in this circumstance. However, because the Victorian State Emergency Service is a 'recognised emergency management body', she is entitled to unpaid community service leave for volunteering in an emergency and/or natural disaster. Shona decides that she would still like to volunteer, so she emails her employer, Eva, telling her that she will be taking community service leave and that she expects to be back in 7 days. After further discussion, Eva asks Shona to provide her with a formal letter from the Victorian State Emergency Service for evidence of the reason for her leave.
