Job Rep Training and Leave Entitlements

Paid Union Training Leave

Paid union training leave is accessible for Public Sector Job Reps. For non-public sector Job Reps, please check your entitlement to paid union training leave.

Depending on the entitlements in the applicable enterprise agreement, Job Reps may be eligible to receive paid union training leave from their employer to attend these programs.

If there is no entitlement and the employer will not provide paid training leave, Job Reps may be eligible to apply for an ANMF ‘loss of pay’ subsidy when taking leave without pay to attend.

Once registered, Job Reps will be provided with written confirmation, and a letter to be forwarded to their relevant NUM/MUM/Line Manager requesting leave to attend union training.
