sec.49 Exemptions
An employer may apply to the authority for an exemption from the requirement to give a certificate of service under section 47 for a worker or class of workers. The authority may grant the exemption if the employer satisfies the authority— the employer no longer engages the worker or class of workers; or the employer complies with, or makes contributions to, a similar scheme in another State about the payment of long service leave payments for the worker or class of workers. The authority may, by written notice to the employer, cancel an exemption granted under subsection (2) if it is satisfied the exemption should no longer be given. If the authority revokes the exemption, it must give the employer reasons for the revocation. s 49 sub 1994 No. 65 s 18 amd 1998 No. 44 s 3 sch (sec.49-ssec.1) An employer may apply to the authority for an exemption from the requirement to give a certificate of service under section 47 for a worker or class of workers.
