Your rights on leave

Know what your entitlements are

The SDA is the union for retail, fast food and warehousing workers.

Every day across Australia we’re helping our members to understand what their workplace rights are.

We know it can be confusing sometimes to know what to do when an issue comes up at work.

And if it’s your first job it’s good to know what you should be paid and what to expect.

Read our helpful information about leave entitlements

Annual leave
