Employees are entitled to take long service leave after a minimum of 7 years of continuous employment. After 7 years, any further long service leave is accrued as an entitlement with no contingency period.
The amount of leave an employee is entitled to take is calculated on one-sixtieth of the period of employment, i.e. number of weeks of employment divided by 60 equals the number of weeks of entitlement.
Setup of Leave Tables
You will need to set up 2 leave tables in the system:
LSLVIC - for accruals up to 7 years of continual service.
LSL2VIC - for accruals for over 7 years.
NOTE: You will need to manually change the long service leave table from the Payroll, Masterfiles, Employee Details, Maintain, Leave tab from LSLVIC to LSL2VIC after an employee completes 7 years of service.
Calculation for Long Service Leave
LSLVIC: if an employee has completed 7 years of work at one employer, multiply this by 52 weeks, divide by 60.
(7 x 52) / 60 = 6.0667 weeks of long service leave entitlement accrued after 7 years.
LSL2VIC: After 7 years.
6.0667 / (7x52) = 0.1666 weeks of long service leave entitlement every week
