### sec.99BZA Continuation of accrued rights to long service leave
The person’s accrued right to long service leave in relation to the former employment is continued in relation to the new employment as an accrued right to long service leave as an employee of the new employer.
From the start of the new employment, the new employer has the same obligations in relation to the person’s accrued right to long service leave as the former employer had in relation to the person at the end of the former employment.
If a person was entitled to take 11 weeks long service leave at the time the former employment ended, the person continues to be entitled to take 11 weeks long service leave after the start of the new employment. The entitlement would not be subject to completing any further period of employment with the new employer.
However, after the start of the new employment, the person continues to accrue rights to long service leave only under the same conditions as an employee of the new employer who is not a person to whom this part applies.
