Calculation of long service leave
190 Calculation of long service leave
Long service leave is calculated at the rate of 1.3 weeks on the appropriate pay for each year of the employee’s continuous service.
The appropriate pay is—
for a full-time employee—at the full pay rate; and
for a part-time employee—at a proportionate amount of full pay rate; and
for a casual employee—the hourly rate for ordinary time payable to the employee—
if the employee takes the long service leave—on the day the employee starts the leave; or
if the employee’s employment is terminated—on the day the termination takes effect.
The minimum amount payable to a casual employee for long service leave is worked out using the formula—
where—
actual service means the total ordinary working hours actually worked by the employee during the employee’s period of continuous service.
hourly rate means the hourly rate under subsection (2)(c).
