97 Recognition of qualifying service for Long Service Leave Act 1981
This section applies to a registered employee who:
has ceased to be a construction worker; and
(b) is employed by an employer for a continuous service that began before, and remains unbroken after, that cessation.
(2) Subject to section 4, this Act does not prevent all or part of that continuous service from giving rise to an entitlement for the employee or another person under the Long Service Leave Act 1981.
(3) If all or part of that continuous service has given rise to such an entitlement:
(a) the employee or the other person (as the case may be) must inform the Registrar in writing about the entitlement; and
on receiving the information, the Registrar must:
(i) disregard any qualifying service credited to the employee under this Act that was based on so much of that continuous service as has given rise to the entitlement; and
(ii) adjust the employee's LSL credits in accordance with the Determinations.
(4) This section applies in relation to the employee whether or not the employee is a transitional employee.
