It is likely that following the enacting of the Workplace Relations Bill that employees in both the public and private sector will accrue annual leave while on sick leave for up to 15 months after the initial leave year in which they fall sick. Employers should check their policies and contracts and considering amend them to ensure any accruals while on sick leave only apply to the statutory minimums.
