SUPERANNUATION TOP UP

We also recognise the long-term impact of caring responsibilities on superannuation balances. Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) data shows that women retire on average with 46.6% less superannuation than men, which is partially attributed to women taking extended periods of leave out of the workforce.
 
That is why we continue to pay super throughout the first year of parental leave, regardless of whether your leave is paid or unpaid.

FLEXIBLE WORK OPTIONS

We recognise that everyone has different priorities and responsibilities at different times in their life, whether that’s raising a family, embarking on a career transition or another personal pursuit. We’re open to discussing a range of flexible work options with you. 

PURCHASE EXTRA LEAVE

We understand that sometimes 4 weeks of annual leave isn’t enough time to take that holiday you’ve been dreaming about or spend time with your family. To help with this, you can purchase up to 6 weeks additional leave each year.

EXTRA LEAVE DAY 

To show you our appreciation for all your hard work, you’ll receive one annual leave day at Christmas, on us.

EARLY ACCESS TO LONG SERVICE LEAVE

You don’t have to work 10 years at PBPL to access Long Service Leave. After 7 years of continuous service, you can apply for pro-rated Long Service leave.
