Long Service Leave Accrual Rate

Just wonder how I get the weekly accrual rate for Long Service Leave so I can add it to MYOB.  Someone told me that it is .667hr per week for a 40hour week.

    Long service leave is calculated differently by award and state

     

    SO once you determine what the leave entitlement is you can do the calculation

     

    for example 

     

    After 10 years you receive 8 weeks leave 

     

    if you work 40 hours that is 320 hours  (8x 40 =320)

    if you work 38 hours 304 hours

    if you work 36 hours that is 288 hours

     

    So to calculate 

     

    320hours over 10 years @ 40 hours a week

     

    320/10/52 =.61538 hrs a weekly pay

     

    304/10/52 = .5846 hrs a weekly pay

     

    288/10/52 = .5538 hrs per pay

     

    Hope that helps

  • Hello Shezza1 

     

    As LRBooks61  has mentioned each state or territory has a different set of rules regarding long service leave and you'll need to consult the relevant long service leave rules for your state or territory to calculate their leave accrual.

    I have provided a Help Article on long service leave which contains links to the different rules for the states, as well as steps on how to set up the long service leave wage category in your software. 

     

    Please let me know how you go.
