Savvy HR has encouraged our Employer clients to trust their staff to ‘do the right thing’ by applying for annual leave or otherwise presenting for work. However, Employers should also take a take a pragmatic approach that is based on planning ahead, clearly letting their staff know what’s expected of them and knowing their Employer rights under the Fair Work Act.
We know that that some Employers have been advised to simply close up shop completely on Friday, however care should be taken in merely deciding to ‘shut-down’ for the day.
