For employees in industries or occupations covered by industrial awards, long service leave entitlements are determined by the award if the award includes long service leave terms. If the award does not consider long service leave entitlements, employees under this award should instead refer to state or territory legislation.
Employees in industries or occupations governed by industrial contracts have their long service leave rights determined by the contract if it includes such terms. In cases where the contract does not cover long service leave, workers should look to state or territory laws for guidance.
