What is on this site
One question, "portable long service leave", answered with a calculator that works on the page with no account, 4 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.
- Long service leave NSW: 2 months at 10 years, and the 5 year rule: The NSW Long Service Leave Act 1955: 8.67 weeks at 10 years, 4.33 weeks per additional 5 years, pro-rata from 5 years for a qualifying reason, and continuous service.
- Long service leave Victoria: 7 years, and one week per 60: The Long Service Leave Act 2018 (Vic): entitlement at 7 years, accrual of one week per 60 weeks, payment however employment ends, and the regulator's worked examples.
- Long service leave Queensland: 8.6667 weeks at 10 years: Queensland's Industrial Relations Act 2016: 8.6667 weeks at 10 years, 13 weeks at 15, pro-rata from 7 years for a qualifying reason, and the casual hours formula.
- Long service leave by state and territory: who to ask: Long service leave is state and territory law, so there is no single Australian entitlement. Which agency governs each state, and what overrides the state Act.
