Estimate an employee's paid personal and carer's leave under the National Employment Standards. Works for full-time, part-time, and mid-year starters. Enter the hours, and the calculator does the pro-rata maths.
No login. Your numbers stay in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
Estimate only. The full-year entitlement scales the NES 10 days by your hours against a 38-hour week. Accrual scales by months worked. In practice, leave accrues progressively on actual ordinary hours, and awards or agreements sometimes give more. Use this as a guide, not a payslip.
The National Employment Standards give a full-time employee 10 days of paid personal and carer's leave a year. Two adjustments cover the rest.
Scale the 10 days by ordinary hours against a 38-hour week. A 19-hour week earns about 5 days a year.
Leave accrues progressively, so a starter partway through the year has built only part of the annual figure.
Absence pro-rates the NES allowance by hire date for every employee and shows how much each person has used. Free for teams of 5.
This calculator gives an estimate, not legal or payroll advice. Actual accrual runs on real ordinary hours, and awards, enterprise agreements, or contracts sometimes provide more. Confirm balances in your payroll system or with the Fair Work Ombudsman on 13 13 94.
