Recent Award changes regarding holiday shutdowns

Recent Award changes regarding holiday shutdowns
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

In Australia, holiday shutdowns from Christmas into the first week or two of the new year are commonplace. However, this year’s process will need to address new obligations that took effect from 1 May 2023 for employees employed under a modern award.

This follows rulings made by the Fair Work Commission (FWC) in August and December 2022 regarding annual leave shutdown provisions.

The changes impact employers and employees covered by 78 modern awards, where the employer intends to shut down all or part of its operation for a particular period and wants affected employees to take paid annual leave during that period.

It has generally been accepted that the employer has to direct employees to take annual leave in this circumstance.  

However, the new Award changes require the employer to give the affected employees 28 days’ written notice of the shutdown period. A shorter notice period may be agreed between the employer and the majority of relevant employees.

The written notice must be given to new starters joining after the notice as soon as reasonably practicable after being engaged. 

Employers complying with these requirements may direct employees to take paid annual leave during the shutdown. Again, this direction must be in writing and must be reasonable. There is no guidance as to when such a notice is unreasonable. It will be rare that such a requirement would be unreasonable if the proper notice of the shutdown is given.

However, the FWC considered it did not have the power to include an Award provision that allowed employers to direct employees to take unpaid leave during a shutdown period. This presents issues for employers where employees have insufficient leave accruals due to leave already taken or they have insufficient service.

Employers who are concerned with a situation where it cannot direct employees to take unpaid leave have the following options:

negotiate appropriate provisions in employment contracts or enterprise agreements to give themselves that right

give employees the option to take unpaid leave (any agreement to do so must be recorded in writing, e.g. by exchange of emails or text message)

make it clear to employees that annual leave requests will be refused if it results in insufficient leave being available during the regular shut down period

use RDOs or time off in lieu of overtime to ensure employees are paid during the shut down

granting employees with insufficient leave accruals paid annual leave in advance (again, these arrangements will need to be in writing and comply with relevant Award provisions). 

With the festive season fast approaching, it is crucial for employers to understand their obligations around annual leave and unpaid leave during shutdown periods. Employees should also be informed about their entitlements regarding leave during workplace shutdowns.

Overall, the best course of action is working together and ensuring good lines of communication. 

Navigating these changes can be challenging for many employers. Employers are advised to seek legal guidance to review existing employment contracts, leave policies, or procedures. 

Reviewing your holiday shutdown process will help your business ensure compliance with the new requirements.
