    Hi Nancy
    An annual leave entitlement is % accrual is 7.6923% is based in 20 days a year annual leave
    20 x 7.6 (1 day hours) - 152 x (38 x 52) 1976 = 7.6923%

    therefore, for NSW 8.67 weeks up to 10 years 
    ... 8.6667 x 38 = 329.3346 (hours
    ....10 years = 10 x 38 x 52 = 19760

    329.3346 / 19760 = 0.01667 %

    this is an estimate of accrual.
    if you pay out long service leave recommend using the LSL calculator for NSW which will outline the LSL in weeks. 

    Hope this is helpful

HI Nancy
We recommend seeking advice from an advisor, as Long Service Leave (LSL) legislation varies by state particularly when it comes to changes in pay rates. If you're in New South Wales, the government provides a helpful Long Service Leave Calculator to estimate the number of weeks payable.

In MYOB, you can also use the termination process to guide you through paying out unused LSL.
