### sec.1093 Declaration about sick leave being exclusive of public holidays
To remove any doubt, it is declared that sick leave under section 40 is, and always has been, exclusive of a public holiday that falls during the leave.
Section 40, as in force from the commencement, and subsection (1) do not affect an existing industrial instrument, or a replacement industrial instrument, to the extent the instrument provides for the effect on an employee’s entitlement to sick leave if a public holiday falls during a period of sick leave taken by the employee.
An existing industrial instrument is an industrial instrument—
in effect before the commencement; and
that provides for the effect on an employee’s entitlement to sick leave if a public holiday falls during a period of sick leave taken by the employee.
A replacement industrial instrument , in relation to an existing industrial instrument, is an industrial instrument—
made after the commencement; and
that covers the same, or substantially the same, employees as the existing industrial instrument; and
that provides for the effect on an employee’s entitlement to sick leave if a public holiday falls during a period of sick leave taken by the employee to be the same, or substantially the same, as under the existing industrial instrument.
