Three Ways Families Find Time Off Work for Their Big Lap
Long service leave, holidays at half pay, or a chunk of unpaid leave, there are a few real ways families find the time off work to actually go on their big lap.
Long Service Leave Is Worth Checking
Long service leave is a real option worth checking with your employer. It varies depending on how long you’ve been there and what state you’re in, but it’s a genuine way some families find the time to go.
Holidays at Half Pay
Other people like to see if they can take holidays at half pay. It stretches your normal leave out over a longer stretch, so you get more time away for the same total pay.
A Chunk of Unpaid Leave
Sometimes you might even be able to check with your employer about taking a bunch of unpaid leave. You don’t know until you ask for it, so you might as well.
