Portable Long Service Leave Act 2024

This

applies to a designated worker in respect of service in a particular designated sector at a particular time or in a particular circumstance or case (the relevant designated sector);

insofar as a designated worker may work in more than 1 designated sector, applies to the employment of the designated worker in 1 designated sector in a separate and distinct manner to the employment of the designated worker in another designated sector.

Accordingly—

a reference to effective service, as it relates to a designated worker, is a reference to the worker's work in the relevant designated sector; and

a reference to being engaged in employment is a reference to employment in the relevant designated sector; and

a reference to working as a designated worker is a reference to working in the relevant designated sector; and

a reference to not being a designated worker during a particular period is a reference to not being a designated worker in the relevant designated sector; and

a designated worker does not have continuity of employment if the worker moves from 1 designated sector to another (unless the designated worker continues to work for the same employer); and

a designated worker's entitlement to long service leave, or a payment on account of long service leave, is determined according to the worker's effective service entitlement in the relevant designated sector.

This section applies subject to any contrary intention made by this Act.
