Long Service Leave Act 1987

Subject to this clause, this Act applies in respect of service before the commencement of this Act if the service continues after the commencement of this Act.

If a worker's service commenced before 1 January 1972, a date falling after that date on which an entitlement to 13 weeks or a multiple of 13 weeks long service leave accrued to the worker will be taken to be the date on which the worker completed 10 years or a corresponding multiple of 10 years service and the length of the worker's service will be calculated accordingly.

This Act does not increase or diminish a long service leave entitlement that accrued before the repeal of the Long Service Leave Act 1967.

Long service leave granted, or a payment made in lieu of long service leave, before the commencement of this Act will, in respect of the period or entitlement to which it related, be presumed to have been granted or made under this Act.

An exemption in force under the repealed Act immediately before the commencement of this Act continues in force as if it were a determination under section 9.
