1. Nature of the information
The calculators, guides, tables and articles on Australian Leave Calculator (the “Site”) are general information only. They are intended to help Australian employees, employers, contractors and HR professionals understand how leave entitlements may be calculated under the National Employment Standards (NES), the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth), state and territory long service leave legislation, and applicable modern awards or registered agreements.
Nothing on the Site is legal advice, financial advice, tax advice, payroll advice or migration advice. Reading this Site does not create a solicitor-client, accountant-client or adviser-client relationship between you and the operators of the Site.
2. No guarantee of accuracy
We make reasonable efforts to keep our calculators aligned with the NES, current state and territory legislation, the Fair Work Act and the rates published by the Fair Work Commission and Services Australia. Despite this:
- Legislation, awards and pay rates change frequently. There may be a lag between an authoritative change and an update to the Site.
- Your specific employment contract, enterprise agreement or modern award may override or supplement the NES baseline used in our calculators.
- Edge cases (shift workers, multiple employers, pieceworkers, transfer of business, casual conversion, redundancy genuine-operation tests) often require professional review.
- Calculator outputs are estimates expressed to a reasonable precision, not payroll-grade figures.
We do not warrant that any result on the Site is accurate, current or complete for your circumstances. Always verify before acting.
3. Authoritative sources
For binding rules, rates and entitlements, consult the primary sources directly:
- fairwork.gov.au – Fair Work Ombudsman, including pay calculators and award summaries.
- fwc.gov.au – Fair Work Commission, modern award decisions and minimum wage orders.
- servicesaustralia.gov.au – Parental Leave Pay, Dad and Partner Pay, and Family Tax Benefit rules.
- The relevant state or territory long service leave authority (for example, NSW Industrial Relations, Wage Inspectorate Victoria, Queensland Government for Industrial Relations).
4. Get professional advice for your situation
If you need a definitive answer about your own entitlements or obligations, we recommend you contact:
- The Fair Work Infoline on 13 13 94, or the Fair Work Ombudsman online complaint form, for free public guidance.
- A registered practising lawyer admitted in your jurisdiction for legal advice.
- A registered tax agent or BAS agent for tax and payroll questions.
- Your union, employer association, or HR team for representative or workplace-specific advice.
5. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operators of the Site, their directors, employees and contributors are not liable for any loss, damage, cost or expense (including consequential or indirect loss, lost profits, lost wages, or fines) suffered by any person as a result of using, or relying on, anything on the Site.
Where Australian Consumer Law implies a guarantee that cannot lawfully be excluded, our liability is limited (at our option) to re-supplying the relevant content or paying the cost of re-supply.
6. Third-party links and content
The Site links to third-party websites for source citations and further reading. We do not control or endorse those sites and accept no responsibility for their content, accuracy or availability.
