Leave from fully completed leave years is still due.<\/p><\/details>\n        <details><summary>Is sick leave paid out when I leave?<\/summary><p>No. Sick leave that you have not used does not entitle you to extra pay when employment ends. The same is true of compassionate leave.<\/p><\/details>\n        <details><summary>When must my final pay be paid?<\/summary><p>On the day employment ends for pay already earned.
