A full-time employee is entitled to paid leave including annual leave and sick and carer’s leave. They’re usually entitled to written notice when their employment ends or payment instead of notice.

The actual hours of work for a full-time employee in a particular job or industry are agreed between the employer and the employee, or they could be set by an award or registered agreement. More details
