Keypoints

Full-time, part-time and casual employees in the Fair Work System can access 10 days of paid family and domestic violence leave in a 12-month period. It isn't pro-rated for part-time or casual employees.
The full 10-day leave entitlement is available upfront and resets on the anniversary of each employee's start date. It doesn't accumulate from year to year if it’s not used.
The leave is available from:
- 1 February 2023, for employees of non-small business employers (employers with 15 or more employees on 1 February 2023)
- 1 August 2023, for employees of small business employers (employers with

less

Keypoints
fewer than 15 employees on 1 February 2023).
An employee's F&DVL balance resets on the anniversary of their start date YouEmployees not eligible for the 10 days paid leave are still entitled to 5 days unpaid family and domestic violence leave. For all the rules and eligibility details, visit the Fair Work website

There are a couple of things you'll need to set a reminder to reset an employee's F&DVL entitlement on their anniversary date (MYOB won't remind you)up to include family and domestic violence leave in an employee's pay.

Example: Employee starts work before the paid leave entitlement comes into effect

Marg started work with her employer on 19 December 2020. On 1 February 2023, her employer has more than 15 employees so Marg is entitled to the new paid leave from 1 February 2023.

Marg will be able to access the full 10 days from that date. Her leave balance will renew on her work anniversary (19 December).

Example: Employee starts work after the paid leave entitlement comes into effect

Gina starts work with a small business employer on 18 September 2023. From this date, Gina can access 10 days of paid family and domestic violence leave. Gina's entitlement will renew on 18 September each year.
