Guest wee wen Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 We have passed our police checks & medicals and are waiting for 'that' e-mail with bated breath. We are going on my skills as a Registered Nurse. I am fully expecting a wage cut for both myself & hubby but was shocked the other day to see that I'll only get 20 Annual Leaves each year. That means a drop of 13 A/L's although I might gain 1 or 2 public holidays. I know that we are well-off here for holidays in the NHS but this has really shocked me. I'll be relying on my A/L's to take time off with my 8 year old during holidays. If I didn't have a child it wouldn't matter so much. Some jobs in the private sectore (ie care homes) seem to offer better holiday entitlement etc. Could anyone advise/ comment !! Wee Wen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I get 5 weeks full time, plus because of the hours I accrue a day off each month that you can save and take whenever. I'm in Perth Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BullcreekBob Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 G'day My wife Gillian works at RPH and under the award there, full time staff get 5 weeks holidays, plus 10 days public holidays for a total of 35 days paid leave that can be taken at any time suitable to the ward and the person. As Gillian works only 3 days per week, she gets 5 weeks of 3 days annual leave and 3/5 of the public holidays, for a total of 21 days paid leave per year.
