Frequently Asked Questions
Is annual leave paid out when I resign?
Yes — in Australia, all accrued and unused annual leave must be paid out when employment ends, regardless of the reason (resignation, dismissal, redundancy, or contract end).
Is leave loading paid out on termination?
It depends on your award or enterprise agreement. The 17.5% leave loading is a common award entitlement, but some modern awards exclude it on termination. Check your specific award at the Fair Work Commission website.
Is my annual leave payout taxed?
Yes — annual leave payout on termination is generally taxed at your marginal rate. Unlike genuine redundancy payments, unused annual leave does not have a tax-free component.
