Australia’s workplace regulator, The Fair Work Ombudsman, has put out a helpful graphic for people who might want to take time off when GTA 6<\/u> comes out this November. \u201cLet\u2019s pretend GTA 6 is coming out tomorrow, but you don\u2019t have any paid leave available to play on launch day\u201d the graphic says. \u201cCan you take unpaid leave?\u201d <\/p>\n
According to the Ombudsman, the National Employment Standards give Australians the right to unpaid leave \u201cunder specific circumstances.\u201d So what are those circumstances? Being a carer is one, but that obviously doesn\u2019t apply to playing an open world video game. Helping out with an emergency is another you can scratch off. <\/p>\n
\nWe got the Australian Government posting about different ways to take leave for GTA 6.<\/p>\n
No other game will ever match the hype. https:\/\/t.co\/ZzdEKgw81Z<\/p>\n

Having a child is another valid reason, but even if you worked at Rockstar you\u2019d be hard pressed to argue for GTA 6 being your spawn. Luckily, you can just ask your boss, apparently. If your boss is nice, they\u2019ll give you time off and you can come to an agreement. Is my boss nice? No, he will make me write news stories about it all day. <\/p>\n
