Victorian Consolidated Legislation

Long Service Leave Act 1992 - SECT 71

Leave in advance

71. Leave in advance



(1) An employer may grant an employee long service leave before the employee
becomes entitled to that leave.

(2) If an employer does this and the employee takes the leave, the employee is
not entitled to any further long service leave or payment in lieu of long
service leave for the period of employment in respect of which the leave in
advance was granted.

(3) If the employment of an employee who has taken leave in advance ends, the
employer may deduct from any payment payable to the employee as a result of
the ending of his or her employment an amount equal to the amount paid to the
employee for the leave (if any) in respect of which the employee will not
become entitled.
