Ask Shaye – Long service leave calculation for varied hours
I have worked in the same private medical centre for over 10 years, but my permanent part-time hours have varied from time to time. How will my long service leave be calculated?
If someone has a mix of different permanent hours of service at the same private practice employer, their Long Service Leave will be calculated on whichever is the highest rate: the ordinary pay for the last pay period prior to the leave being taken or the average weekly pay earned during the previous five years (excluding any weeks of unpaid absences from the 5-year average).
