Application Form - Version 02 19 - Jan 2022.pdf
Hi Leighton and James,
As discussed here is the updated COVID‐19 Special Leave application form (Version 02) and I have also attached the
current form.
The changes are highlighted in yellow:
Not to be used if you are covid positive. This is only used as a COVID‐19 isolation form only.
Firefighters to contact the Duty Commander within their Command prior to submitting application.
Trades and Admin to contact their supervisor prior to submitting.
Please Select from the below options:
Part A ‐ Employee is notified by their Supervisor/ Duty Commander/COVID‐19 IMT that another worker was positive when they
were at work, and they are now deemed a close contact and need to self‐isolate immediately (either on‐shift or off‐shift). No
documentation required.
Part B ‐ Employee becomes a close contact due to a home situation (private not work related).Supporting evidence required.
Note: Form to be signed off by Area Commander or Equivalent and submitted to HR Advisory for processing.
This basically means now that if you are isolating due to a notification from FRNSW (COVID‐19 IMT, Supervisor/Duty
Commander, etc) then no supporting documentation is required and the notes just need to include who advised you
and then the Supervisor/Duty Commander endorses and Area Commander approves. Part A of the form.
Consideration will be given in these circumstances that additional paid days over the 20 maximum will be supported.
If it is off shift, then additional information is required and supporting documentation is required. Part B. The
maximum of 20 days is applicable.
We see this as streamlining the process for firefighters and approvers in the Part A scenario and providing better
governance in the Part B situation.
Please contact me if you need any additional information.
Kind regards,
Greg
