Hi,
I am just wondering if eligible to receive my Ed Leader Allowance whilst on Annual Leave.

I work fulltime and receive Ed Leader Allowance. I went on Annual leave and was not paid for my Ed Leader Allowance stating I'm not eligible whilst on leave

Full-time employee eligible for the Team Leader Allowance. The issue here is that you are on leave, but this should not affect your entitlements.2 player games

I suggest you contact Human Resources to explain the situation. Explain that you are still working full-time and are just on leave, and therefore still eligible for the Team Leader Allowance. They will consider your request and may reinstate the allowance.

Unfortunately I don't have much information on this, you should check your employment contract and company policy on receiving Ed Leader Allowance during leave to ensure your rights.

Yes, you are generally entitled to receive your Educational Leader Allowance during annual leave, as it forms part of your regular remuneration, but you should check your specific award or enterprise agreement for confirmation.

You’re generally entitled to receive the Educational Leader Allowance during annual leave, as it’s considered part of your regular pay. However, it’s important to check your specific award or enterprise agreement to confirm your entitlement.

I understand that the Educational Leader Allowance is part of my regular remuneration as a full-time employee, and based on Fair Work and sector guidance, it should continue to be paid during periods of paid leave, including annual leave. The allowance is not a casual loading but an entitlement linked to my appointment as Educational Leader, and the recent changes from 1 July 2025 confirm that the allowance is tied to the number of days per week the role is designated, not whether I am actively working those days. On this basis, I believe I should have received my Educational Leader Allowance while on annual leave, and I kindly request that this be reviewed and corrected.
