Long Service Leave Act 2018

Despite anything to the contrary in section 13 of the 2018 Act, any interruption to an employee's employment caused by an absence from work not referred to in section 62(2) or (3) or 62A(1) of the 1992 Act is taken to interrupt an employee's continuous employment for the purposes of section 12 of the 2018 Act if the absence started before the commencement of the 2018 Act.

If the 2018 Act commences during an employee's absence from work and that absence is a type of absence that was not counted as part of the period of the employee's continuous employment under section 62, 62A or 63 of the 1992 Act but is taken to be a period of employment under section 13 of the 2018 Act, only that part of the period of absence occurring on and from the commencement of the 2018 Act is taken to be a period of employment under section 13 of that Act.
