3.6 Extraordinary Leave

In extraordinary circumstances and normally after exhausting available leave types in this Agreement the University may grant a staff member such paid leave (other than that allowed in any other clause of this Agreement) as the relevant Member of the Senior Executive decides is warranted.

In the event of a National Emergency Declaration by the Federal Government, or a global pandemic declared by the World Health Organization:

1. a fixed term or continuing staff member who is impacted by the emergency, is eligible for an additional 5 days of paid leave, to be taken in the week following the date of the declaration.
2. a casual or sessional staff member who is impacted by the emergency, is eligible for 5 days of paid leave, to be taken in the week following the date of the declaration, which will be paid at the rate they would have been paid if they had attended their rostered work during the period of leave.
