Home support workers urge government against reducing sick leave entitlements in Holidays Act review.

Home support workers, who care for vulnerable individuals, are urging the government not to reduce sick leave entitlements. The government is reviewing the Holidays Act and considering pro-rating sick leave entitlements. This decision threatens workers' rights, particularly part-time workers who provide essential care services. The union representing these workers is concerned that the proposed changes will unfairly penalize them and impact the most vulnerable in society.
