An Act to provide for the grant to certain employees of long service
leave, and for other purposes
1 Short title
This Act may be cited as the Long Service Leave Act 1981.
2 Commencement
This Act shall come into operation on a date to be fixed by the
Administrator by notice in the Gazette.
3 Repeal
The Long Service Leave Ordinance 1965 (No. 67 of 1965), the
Long Service Leave Ordinance 1970 (No. 18 of 1970) and the Long
Service Leave Ordinance 1974 (No. 52 of 1974) are repealed.
4 Savings
(1) The repeal of the Ordinances specified in section 3 does not affect
a grant under those Ordinances of long service leave for a period

and this Act applies to and in relation to any long service leave so
granted that occurs after that commencement as if it had been
granted under this Act.
(2) Notwithstanding the repeal of the Ordinances specified in section 3,
where an employee was, on the day before the date of
commencement of this Act, entitled to a period of long service
leave, the employee shall be entitled to a credit of long service
leave equal to that period.
5 Transitional
(1) This Act does not apply to and in relation to a period of employment
performed before the date of commencement of this Act if, before
that date, the employment of the employee was terminated
otherwise than for the purpose of avoiding the grant of long service
leave.
Long Service Leave Act 1981 2
(2) Long service leave granted, or payment in lieu of long service leave
made, before the commencement of this Act:
(a) shall be deemed to be leave granted, or payment made, under
this Act; and
(b) shall be deducted from any leave or payment to which the
employee would be entitled by virtue of this Act.
6 Application
(1) Subject to this Act, where a person is or has been, on or after the
commencement of this Act, employed in the Territory, this Act
applies to and in relation to the person's employment at any time
before or after the commencement of this Act.
(2) This Act does not apply to or in relation to:
(a) a person in respect of whom provision for long service leave is
made by another law of the Territory, or of the Commonwealth
or of a State;
(b) a person to whom an award applies making provision for long
service leave; or
(c) a person employed in an honorary capacity.
(4) Nothing in this Act allows an employee to obtain credit for long
service leave more than once in respect of the same period of
employment.
7 Interpretation
(1) In this Act, unless the contrary intention appears:
award means an award, order, industrial agreement or common
rule declaration in force at the time of the employment of the
employee under the Workplace Relations Act 1996 of the
Commonwealth.
employee means a person to whom this Act applies who has
entered into or works under a contract of service or apprenticeship
with an employer, whether the contract is express or implied, oral or
in writing, on salary, wages or piecework rates or as a member of a
butty gang, full-time or part-time, or casual, or as an outworker.
pay, in relation to an employee, means the pay, salary, wages or
remuneration in respect of his or her employment.
Long Service Leave Act 1981 3
public holiday means a day to be observed as a public holiday
under the Public Holidays Act 1981.
(2) A reference in this Act to an employee's pay shall be read as
including a reference to:
(a) an over-award payment, industry, leading hand, skill or
qualification allowance or service grant;
(b) any amounts payable to the employee under a bonus or
incentive scheme, being amounts that are usually paid to the
employee with his or her pay;
(c) if the employee is provided with free board or lodging by the
employer – an amount equal to the value of that board or
lodging fixed by or under the terms of employment or, if not so
fixed, $15 per week for board or $5 per week for lodging; and
(d) any allowance of a specified kind prescribed by the
Regulations to be included in an employee's pay for the
purposes of this Act or a provision of this Act,
but not including a reference to district allowance, site allowance,
climatic allowance or any other allowance or payment in respect of
overtime or penalty rates of pay.
(3) For the purposes of this Act, the fact that:
(a) some or all of an employee's pay consists of a share of the
earnings of the employer; or
(b) a vehicle, vessel, machine, tool or other article for the
performance of his or her work is obtained by the employee
under a contract of hire in consideration of the payment of a
fixed sum or a share of the earnings of the employer, or
otherwise,
does not in itself prevent the person from being regarded as an
employee.
(4) For the purpose of calculating an employee's rate of pay where,
during a year, an employee is remunerated partly by pay and partly
by commission, the total of the pay and the commission payable to
the employee during the year shall be added together.
(5) Where, by a provision of a law that governs an award applying to
an employee in the Territory, a person is deemed, for the purposes
of that law, to be the employer of another person, the person so
deemed to be an employer shall, for the purposes of this Act, be
deemed to be an employer of that other person.
Long Service Leave Act 1981 4
(6) Nothing in this Act:

thinks fit, an agreement between an employee and his or her
employer in respect of the entitlement of the employee to benefits in
the nature of long service leave in respect of the employee's
employment with that employer where the Minister is satisfied that
those benefits are not less favourable than those provided under
this Act.
(5A) The Minister may revoke, subject to such conditions as he or she
thinks fit, in whole or in part, an approval under subsection (5) of an
agreement referred to in that subsection.
(6) Subject to subsections (5) and (7) and section 13, where an
employee is entitled to long service leave under this Act, an
Long Service Leave Act 1981 5

subsection, or a scheme referred to in section 13 to which an
exemption under that section relates, his or her employer shall
grant and the employee shall take the long service leave to which
he or she is entitled:
(a) as soon as practicable after the leave has accrued, having
regard to the needs of the employer's business, or
commencing on and from a date that is agreed upon between
the employer and employee; and

employee agree, in separate periods not exceeding 3, of not
less than 4 weeks each.
(7) Unless the employee otherwise agrees, an employer shall give to
an employee not less than 2 months notice of the date from which it
is proposed that the employee's long service leave shall be granted
and taken.
(8) Where an employee has been granted a period of long service
leave in accordance with this section, the amount of long service
leave due to that employee is reduced by the period of the leave so
granted.
9 Public holidays
Where a public holiday occurs during a period of long service leave
granted under this Act, the public holiday shall be deemed to be
part of the long service leave and the period of leave shall not be
increased because of the holiday.
10 Entitlement for payment for long service leave credit
(1) Subject to subsection (1A), where an employee who is entitled to
long service leave ceases to be an employee otherwise than by
death, the employer is to pay to the employee the amount payable
under section 11 for a period equal to the period of his or her long
service leave credit at the time he or she ceases that employment.
(1A) Where an employee who is entitled to long service leave ceases to
be an employee by reason of serious misconduct, the employer
shall pay to the employee, in lieu of long service leave, an amount
not less than the amount that would be payable to the employee
under section 11 for his or her long service leave credit at the time
he or she ceases that employment (if any) in respect of:
(a) where the employee has completed not less than 10, but less
than 15 years, of continuous service with the employer, the
completed period of 10 years continuous service only; and
Long Service Leave Act 1981 6
(b) where the employee has completed not less than 15 years of
continuous service with the employer, completed periods of
5 years continuous service only.
(2) Where an employee whose period of employment is less than
10 years but not less than 7 years ceases to be an employee of that
employer, otherwise than by death:
(a) on or subsequent to attaining the age at which he or she may
retire;
(b) on the termination of employment by the employer for a
reason other than serious misconduct; or
(c) on account of illness, incapacity or domestic or other pressing
necessity of such a nature as to justify so ceasing to be an
employee,
the employer shall pay to the employee the amount payable under
section 11 for a period equal to 1.3 weeks for each completed year
of service of that employment.
(3) Where an employee dies and would have been entitled to payment
under subsection (1) or (2) had he or she otherwise ceased to be
employed on the date of death, the employer shall, on the request
of the personal representative of the employee, pay to the personal
representative the amount that would have been payable to the
employee under those circumstances.
(4) Except as provided by this section, an employer shall not pay to an
employee, and an employee shall not accept, any amount in lieu of
long service leave to which the employee is entitled under this Act.
11 Payment for long service leave
(1) In this section:
hours of work per week means:
(a) the fixed number of hours per week an employee has worked
for an employer during a year of continuous service with an
employer; or
(b) where an employee has not worked a fixed number of hours
per week, the average number of hours per week the
employee has worked for an employer during a year of
continuous service with an employer,
but does not include hours of overtime worked by the employee.
Long Service Leave Act 1981 7
rate of pay means an employee's remuneration for the hours of
work per week worked by the employee calculated:
(a) in the case of an employee who is remunerated in accordance
with a rate of pay fixed by the terms of employment of the
employee, that rate of pay; or
(b) in the case of an employee:
(i) who is not remunerated in accordance with a rate of pay
referred to in paragraph (a);
(ii) who is remunerated partly in accordance with a rate of
pay referred to in paragraph (a) and partly in another
manner; or
(iii) where no rate of pay is fixed by the terms of employment
of the employee,
the average rate of pay paid to the employee during a year of
continuous service (to be calculated by dividing the total amount of
pay paid, other than any amount paid for hours of overtime worked
or as district allowance, site allowance, climatic allowance or
penalty rates, by the total number of hours, other than hours of
overtime, worked by the employee during the year of continuous
service).
(2) Where an employee is entitled to a payment for, or in lieu of, long
service leave under this Act, the amount payable to the employee is
the sum of the amounts calculated under subsection (3) for each
completed year of continuous service that comprises the period of
service from which his or her entitlement to long service leave is
derived.
(3) An amount calculated for a completed year of continuous service
under subsection (2) is to be calculated in accordance with the
formula RP x HWW x 1.3, where:
RP means an employee's rate of pay payable on the day
immediately preceding the day on which he or she ceases to be an
employee or takes a period of long service leave, or on the day as
agreed in accordance with subsection (8)(a), as the case may be.
HWW means the number of hours of work per week an employee
worked for an employer during a year of the continuous service.
Long Service Leave Act 1981 8
(4) For the purpose of giving an example of the calculation of a
payment under subsection (2) in respect of 10 years of continuous
service, where:
(a) an employee works 40 hours per week during the whole of the
period of 10 years of continuous service; and
(b) the employee's rate of pay on the day immediately preceding
the day on which he or she ceases to be an employee or
takes a period of long service leave is $15 per hour,
then the amount payable to the employee is $7,800, being the sum
of $15 x 40 hours x 1.3 weeks for each of the 10 years of
continuous service.
(5) For the purpose of giving a further example of the calculation of a
payment under subsection (2) in respect of 5 years of continuous
service, where:
(a) the employee worked:
(i) 40 hours per week during the first year of continuous
service;
(ii) 40 hours per week during the second year of continuous
service;
(iii) 30 hours per week during the third year of continuous
service;
(iv) an average of 25 hours per week during the fourth year
of continuous service; and
(v) an average of 20 hours per week during the fifth year of
continuous service; and
(b) the employee's rate of pay on the day immediately preceding
the day on which he or she ceases to be an employee or
takes a period of long service leave is $30 per hour,
then the amount payable to the employee is $6,045, being the sum
of ($30 x 40 hours x 1.3 weeks) plus ($30 x 40 hours x 1.3 weeks)
plus ($30 x 30 hours x 1.3 weeks) plus ($30 x 25 hours x
1.3 weeks) plus ($30 x 20 hours x 1.3 weeks).
Long Service Leave Act 1981 9
(6) Subject to subsection (8), where an employee is to take a period of
long service leave, his or her employer is to pay the amount
calculated under (2) to the employee in respect of the whole of the
period:
(a) on or before the last day on which the employee is required to
work before he or she commences the leave; or
(b) on the pay day immediately before he or she commences the
leave,
as agreed between the employer and employee.
(7) Where an employee ceases to be an employee on retirement,
termination of employment, ill health, death or domestic or other
pressing necessity, the employer is to pay the amount calculated
under subsection (2):
(a) to the employee as soon as practicable after termination of his
or her employment; or
(b) in the case of a deceased employee, to his or her personal
representative as soon as practicable after the death of the
employee, but in any case not later than 12 months after his or
her death.
(8) An employer and an employee may agree that:
(a) where they have made an agreement under section 8(6) to
postpone the grant of long service leave or a part of it, the pay
payable in respect of that postponed leave is to be at the
employee's rate of pay on the date of the agreement, and
payment in respect of that postponed leave is to be made
accordingly; or
(b) payment of the employee's pay in respect of long service
leave he or she is to take is to be paid at a time other than a
day referred to in subsection (6) and that payment be made by
cheque, posted to a specified address or otherwise, and
payment in respect of that leave is to be made accordingly.
