Subject to section 69 , a person must not be credited in the register of workers with a day’s service unless the day is on or after the day the person became a registered worker under section 49 . A worker must not be credited in the register of workers with more than 365 days in a financial year, even if a particular financial year has 366 days. The days of service a worker must be credited for in the register of workers must be adjusted to ensure that the total number is not more than 365 days if— for a financial year, a registered worker would otherwise be entitled to be credited with a number of days of service in the register of workers and a further number of days of service in a like register or record kept under a corresponding law; and the total of the days of service is more than 365 days. The adjustment under subsection (3) must be made when an application is made under this Act or a corresponding law for payment of long service leave for service that includes either or both of the number of days of service mentioned in subsection (3) (a) , or at any other time the authority may decide.
