Example
Megan has been working as an Administration Manager for 2 years and her employment is covered by the Clerks Award. She works 38 hours per week between Monday and Friday and is paid $18.00 per hour.
Megan has applied in writing to her employer Genevieve to take 6 weeks of annual leave to go to Europe. Genevieve approves her annual leave request. While Megan is on annual leave, she receives her ordinary rate of pay and an additional 17.5% leave loading. This is calculated as follows:
$18.00 X 38 hours per week = $684.00 + 17.5% = $803.70 per week
