Translation from a teacher’s current table-based entitlement to the proposed allocation shall occur on 28 January 2024.

Translation to the new sick leave entitlement in clauses 5.1.2 will be based on the teacher's years of aggregate employment as defined in clause 5.2.1(a) and the corresponding entitlement in the Translation Table.

A teacher's sick leave balance will be their translated entitlement, less sick leave taken during their aggregate employment as at the date of translation, but no teacher will have a sick leave balance:

• that is less than their balance as at 27 January 2024; or
• less than 10 days.

Below are some examples of the implementation at the day of translation (28 January 2024):

Examples of translation for teachers on day of translation:

	Aggregate employment at day of translation	Sick leave entitlement prior to translation	Total sick leave taken over duration of aggregate employment	Balance	Translated sick leave entitlement	Total sick leave taken over duration of aggregate employment	Balance	New balance available to the teacher from day of translation
