The enhancements form part of IAG’s Enterprise Agreement 2024, a three-year agreement recently
approved by the Australian Fair Work Commission (FWC). Highlights of the Agreement1 include:
- Industry leading 20-weeks of gender-neutral paid parental leave at full pay: or 40 weeks at
half pay, available from the commencement of employment.
- 5 days of paid ‘myLeave’: in addition to 20 days of annual leave, myLeave is for unexpected life
moments or important occasions.
- Uncapped paid family and domestic violence (FDV) leave: strengthened support for
employees experiencing FDV with no restrictive caps on this form of leave.
Strengthening FDV assistance for employees is an important focus for IAG as it seeks to better
support those who are most vulnerable and at risk.
Ms Stasi said, “We recognise the devastating impact on people experiencing family or domestic
violence and want to ensure that affected employees can take the time they need to access help
and resources, without the added pressure of returning to work within a set timeframe.”
Additionally, employees supporting immediate family or household members impacted by family or
domestic violence can access up to 10 days of paid leave.
Proudly certified as a Family Inclusive Workplace, IAG continues to mature its commitment to gender equity and flexible workplace initiatives, tailored to individual and role specific needs. This includes:
- 20 days of paid gender affirmation leave: to support employees who identify as transgender or gender diverse as they undertake gender transition or affirm their gender identity (for a maximum of 3 years).
- FlexiTime: adjusted start / finish times, reduced hours, compressed working weeks / fortnights.
- FlexiPlace: work from home, a main IAG site, or an IAG hub, with the option to work up to 30 days annually on either side of the Tasman from the normal work base.
- FlexiJob: job sharing and secondments.
- FlexiLeave: career break, special leave, defence force leave, shorter working year and more.
