Annual Leave Carried Forward

Can employer limit the no. of days for Annual leave to be carried forward? Is this anyway violating the Employment Act?


Based on the Employment Act: 

Your annual leave entitlement can be forfeited if you:

  • Are absent from work without permission or reasonable excuse for more than 20% of the working days in the months or year.
  • Fail to take your leave within 12 months after the end of 12 months of continuous service.
  • Are dismissed on the grounds of misconduct.

So if your option to choose how to determine your company Leave policy, you can allow to carry all or even none.
