(2) A period of any such unpaid leave may be calculated by reference to the provisions of the Long Service Leave Act 1955 or in such other manner as may be agreed.

(3) Leave taken in accordance with this section is taken, for the purposes of section 4 (11) (a1) (i) of the Long Service Leave Act 1955 , to constitute an absence of the worker under the terms of the worker’s employment.
