What to Do with Annual Leave

Making the Most of What You've Built

Ideally use it all up before you leave, testing the life you will have when u retire

Taking reasonable chunks i.e. 6 weeks provides the opportunity to test how you are going … that means what are u going to do with the extra 50 hours a week

From a mental health point of view:

  • using your leave allows u to finish refreshed rather than collapsing across the line.

Many people come to us planning to save their leave and say retire in 2 yrs ….. tired and worn out, in many cases using the accumulated leave extends their working life by 2 to 3 years

Building more leave, adding to their super balance … also by default not drawing down on their investments super etc.

Delaying the finish date allows us to freshen up , and finish strongly for the last upcoming transition

Key considerations:

  • Manage leave to maximize retirement options

You've spent decades building this — let's make sure it works as hard for you in retirement as you did to accumulate it.

An elderly woman and a middle-aged woman are outdoors, engaging in a warm conversation. The elderly woman has curly gray hair, is wearing a cream-colored knit sweater, a pearl necklace, and earrings, and is smiling. The middle-aged woman has brown hair tied in a loose bun, is wearing a brown sweater, and is leaning in close to the elderly woman, with her hand on the elderly woman's shoulder, both looking at each other affectionately.
