LONG SERVICE LEAVE ACT 1976 - SECT 7

Payment for leave

    (1)     Payment for long service leave shall be made at the rate of an amount equivalent to the ordinary remuneration the employee would have received in respect of the period of leave if he or she had not taken the leave.

    (2)     In the case of an employee who is a part-time employee or casual employee, the ordinary remuneration shall be calculated by multiplying the average number of hours worked each week by the employee during the period of 12 months immediately preceding the day on which the employee became entitled to the leave by the ordinary remuneration of the employee on that day.

    (3)     If, within the period of 2 years immediately before the date on which an employee becomes entitled to long service leave in respect of a period of service, the employee ceases to be employed full time and is employed part time or as a casual employee, the ordinary remuneration for long service leave shall be calculated by dividing by 5 the total amount of salary or wages paid to the employee in the period of 5 years ending on his or her becoming so entitled.
