Are you or your employees eligible for long service leave?
Changes to long service leave were made in November which may affect your entitlements.
Key changes:
· The new laws will provide greater flexibility to women, families and those transitioning to retirement.
· Employees will be able to apply for leave after seven years of work, rather than ten years.
· Employees can now take long service leave in smaller increments, i.e. a minimum of one day per occasion.
· Absences from work including unpaid parental leave will generally not break continuous employment.
· Certain breaks will now count towards accrual of long service leave, e.g. unpaid parental leave
