Construction Income Protection Queensland has purchased an insurance policy that will cover any unused sick leave you have remaining when your employment is terminated. Your employer must be contributing to the insurance premiums on your behalf. If your employer is not participating in this scheme then Portable Sick Leave (PSL) cannot take over your sick leave when your employment is terminated. While you are with your current employer, that employer is responsible for any sick leave you may have under the award system.
On termination of your employment PSL obtains from your employer the number of days sick leave credits you have remaining with that employer.
NB: A maximum of 5 unused sick days are able to be brought forward into your unused sick leave credits for the period prior to your employer participating in this scheme.
