Authorised Day 2024
In recent years we introduced increased flexibility for how team members could take the Authorised Day by providing team members with the option of choosing an additional day of leave instead, and nearly 30,000 of our team members selected this option.
What this means for Authorised Day 2024
For team members who selected an additional day of annual leave
Your additional day of leave will be added to your annual leave balance by Thursday 15 August 2024 to use whenever and however you wish, including the days after Christmas subject to the usual operational requirements.
For team members who currently have the Authorised Day
We have written to you confirming that you selected to keep the Authorised Day on the day declared by Australia Post or didn’t make a nomination.
The Authorised Day for 2024 will be held on Wednesday 14 August 2024, with the exception of Queensland team members where the Authorised Day will be held on Wednesday 21 August 2024 .
This means you will not be rostered to work on this day.
You can select an extra day of leave instead of the Authorised Day if you prefer.
The additional day of leave will enable you to:
- Take the day of leave at a date of your choosing, including the days after Christmas (subject to operational requirements)
- Have an additional day of leave credited to your leave balance annually
- Receive an extra leave loading payment that you don’t receive through the Authorised Day
- Cash it out as part of our usual yearly process if you wish to.
If you prefer the additional day of leave instead of the Authorised Day, please let us know by Thursday 1 August 2024 by filling in the form below.
If you would like to cash out your additional day of leave please use the form below.
