Long service leave - NSW building and construction industry
There are two long service leave schemes for the New South Wales construction industry that employers must follow. Governed by the Long Service Leave Act 1955 (NSW), employees are entitled to long service leave after working for the same employer for ten years. This is an across the board entitlement for workers in New South Wales.
However, construction industry professionals work differently to the average worker, as all members would know. A more common situation is a project-based approach over their careers. As a result, the Portable Scheme was established to accommodate this. The Scheme ensures housing industry employees get the same level of entitlement to reward their long-term commitment to the industry.
Governed by the Building and Construction Industry Long Service Payments Act 1986 (NSW), the Portable Scheme covers workers who work on and off-site, not office/administration professionals. In this handy resource for building industry employers, you’ll learn everything you need to know to be compliant with these laws.
