INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS ACT 1999 - SECT 48

48 Taking long service leave—alternative provision for casual or regular part-time employees

(1) An employer may agree with a casual or regular part-time employee that the entitlement to long service leave may be taken in the form of its full-time equivalent.

Example—
If an employee—
(a) is entitled to be paid for 260 hours long service leave; and
(b) works under an award that provides for a full-time working week of 40 ordinary working hours;
the employee and the employer may agree that the employee take 61/2 weeks leave (260 ÷ 40 = 61/2).

(2) This section applies subject to a provision in an industrial instrument about the employee's long service leave.
