When working as a full time worker you get 10 sick days per year.

Is an employer allowed to say that an employee who takes sick leave in the first 3 months has to take it without pay? I would have thought that sick leave would accrue prop rata.

So are you on probation?

This may help:

Employee entitlements on probation

Probation periods aren’t a separate period of employment.

While on probation, employees continue to receive the same entitlements as someone who isn’t in a probation period.

If hired on a full-time or part-time basis, an employee on probation is entitled to accrue and access their paid leave entitlements such as annual leave and sick leave.

If an employee doesn’t pass their probation, they are still entitled to receive notice when employment ends and have their unused accumulated annual leave hours paid out.
