Australian Workplace Regulator Uses GTA 6 to Guide Players on How to Properly Request Leave

Australia's Fair Work Ombudsman used the release of GTA 6 on Instagram to explain the rules for employees taking unpaid leave. Employees who have exhausted their paid leave and wish to apply for general unpaid leave must first obtain their employer's approval; they cannot decide to be absent on their own to play games.

This explanation has a playful tone, with the scenario set as "the game releases tomorrow." The word "tomorrow" is just an example and does not announce a new release date.

The post also jokingly mentioned carer's leave, community service leave, and parental leave, noting that these leave categories do not apply in this situation. If an employee plans to take unpaid leave for a game release, whether the leave is granted still depends on the application and the employer's decision.
