Construction Industry Portable Paid Long Service Leave Act 1985

An employee with at least 7 years of service in the construction industry may, with the consent of his employer, take advance long service leave for not longer than the period which bears the same proportion to the length of his service then completed as the period of 8⅔ weeks bears to 10 years, and where leave is so taken, the employee is not entitled to further long service leave or a payment under section 22(1) for the period of service in respect of which advance long service leave has been taken.

Sections 24(3), 28 and 29 apply to and in relation to the taking of advance long service leave by an employee under subsection (1) in the same way as they apply to and in relation to the taking of long service leave by an employee under an entitlement conferred by section 21(1).
