Employer Doesn't Update Sick & Annual Leave

[Deactivated] on 28/11/2015 - 09:09

I am in a full time role and my employer doesn't update the sick leave and annual leave accrual amounts on their website.
9 Months into the role, for 6 months it showed as N/A. then 7 - 9 months it showed no leave was ever taken so the full hours, even tho sick and annual leave we both taken.

When you take leave its approved (without question) but its never adjusted so you don't know how much leave you have left.
If they do an audit and see you are over a form of leave they will dock you the money from the next pay run even though you never knew how much you had before that and you cant not get it docked.

It is not shown on the payslips (A company contracts to ADP do the payruns). Since they are an international company with a head office in Melbourne.

First off:
1) Is it illegal for them to not update it regulary
2) Are they able to dock your pay if they are approving it without checking
3) Should this be taken to Fair Work
4) Since we don't know and cant prepare leave since we never know the amount (Even if we email payroll they cant provide the details) surely this should fall under some form of law breaking?

Let me know

    Why not just ask them?

      I think the OP has already tried that as stated already… "(Even if we email payroll they cant provide the details)"

    They should be providing your sick/leave pay details otherwise you can't track if they are OK. If you can find a phone number for HR try ringing them instead of email. You might want to check the fine print of your contract in relation to docking pay. I'm pretty sure my company comes up with a disclaimer whenever we request leave that it is our duty to confirm we have enough leave before requesting it. It is always tricky making a complaint about stuff like this as businesses can always find a way to get rid of you. If you really want it resolved you could find out the HR details for head office and go directly to them, but that would be risky.

    Thanks,
    HR no phone number available to staff only email. (I know sounds dodgy but its what my manager advised me who is trustworthy, i assume she deals with them via phone).
    So with that i approached them recently to ask how much leave i had.
    But the amount they said was totally wrong giving me surplus.
    But if i took it and they notice the mistake i would get docked pay.

    So if they don't know the true figure or cant provide me the amount as of the day that i requested what can i do?

    Ring who ever is in charge of pay/leave up.

    Tell them you want to book yourself a holiday and you were wondering how much leave you have. Ask if you can have a answer as soon as possible as there is a sale for flights on now.

    Just casually mention that you can't see it on your intranet when you login.

    so if i email them and they say i have 10 hours leave.
    but then after they do the payrun they notice i went over leave by 7 hours and they dock me 7 hours pay. how does that work?
