131B Counting service only on or after 1 July 2016 for accrual of certain entitlements under the National Employment Standards

(1) For the purpose of determining the accrual of entitlements to the following under the National Employment Standards for Norfolk Island employment, only service in that employment on or after 1 July 2016 counts: (a) paid annual leave; (b) paid personal/carer’s leave; (c) notice of termination or payment in lieu of notice. (2) Paragraphs (1)(a) and (b) do not limit Subdivision B (which deals with leave accrued or started before 1 July 2016). (3) For the purposes of sections 119, 121 and 122 (which deal with redundancy pay), so far as they relate to an employee’s Norfolk Island employment, only service in such employment on or after 1 July 2016 counts. (4) Subsection (3) does not apply if the terms and conditions of the employee’s Norfolk Island employment immediately before 1 July 2016 provided for an entitlement to redundancy pay.

Note: In that case, service before 1 July 2016 counts for working out redundancy pay under the National Employment Standards (see subsection 131A(1)).
