《侠盗猎车手6》即将于11月19日全球分阶段发售,澳大利亚和新西兰将率先在当地时间11月20日推出该作品1。这款游戏已积累约6亿美元的预售收入1。随着发售日期临近,社交媒体上出现大量员工计划请假以便畅玩新作的讨论,澳大利亚公平工作监察员因此发布了GTA6主题提醒帖1。
在请假问题上,两国员工面临不同的法律规则。在澳大利亚,年假可基于任何原因使用但需提前与雇主协商;病假则仅限于本人生病或照顾家属,为了玩游戏而请病假属于违规行为1。新西兰的规则相对宽松,年假可用于包括玩游戏在内的任何目的1,虽然病假同样限于健康原因,但某些合同中可能存在的"福祉假"条款可能涵盖这类活动1。
值得注意的是,美国陆军一个营曾在7月提供特殊四天假期,允许士兵在游戏发售时游玩,条件是承诺再服役至少两年,至少20名士兵已确认接受此协议1。
Grand Theft Auto 6, one of the year's most anticipated releases, will launch globally on November 19, with Australia and New Zealand receiving the game first on November 20 (local time) 1. The title has already generated approximately $600 million in pre-orders 1.
The game's imminent release has sparked widespread discussion on social media about employees planning to take time off to play, prompting Australia's Fair Work Ombudsman to issue a GTA6-themed reminder about leave entitlements 1. In the United States, a U.S. Army battalion took an unusual approach, offering a special four-day leave period timed to the game's launch for soldiers willing to commit to at least two additional years of service, with at least 20 soldiers confirming acceptance of the arrangement 1.
However, employees seeking time off to play the game should understand the legal distinctions governing leave in their jurisdiction. In Australia, annual leave can be used for any purpose but requires advance agreement with an employer, while sick leave is restricted to times of illness or caring for family members—meaning taking sick leave specifically to play a video game constitutes misconduct 1. New Zealand offers similar protections, where annual leave may be used for any purpose including gaming, but sick leave applies only to genuine health reasons; nevertheless, certain employment contracts may include "wellbeing leave" that could potentially cover such activities 1.
