The AMA (WA) stepped in to advocate on behalf of the practitioner. We contacted the employer, advising that the payout was unlawful and that the practitioner was entitled to retain their accrued leave. During this time, the practitioner advanced from Senior Registrar to Consultant.
After extensive discussions and continued advocacy by the AMA (WA), the employer reinstated the leave entitlements. Not only that but since the practitioner had since moved up to the Consultant level, the value of the leave was recalculated at the higher Consultant rate. This adjustment increased the value of the practitioner’s leave by over $81,000 compared to its original value as a Senior Registrar.
If you believe you’ve been unlawfully paid out for your leave entitlements, please contact the AMA (WA) Industrial Relations Team for assistance.
