Final Pay - Long service leave

Good Afternoon

 

I have an employee that has been with our business 10yrs (fulltime & parttime) but due to taking unpaid leave during this time she is about 10 weeks off being due LSL. She has resigned and 30.06.26 will be her last day. From what I have researched she is entitled to a pro rata LSL. Do I pay this in her final pay as unused LSL?

 

Thank you in advance.

    Hi Anewbee,

     

    From what you've described, if the employee is entitled to a pro rata long service leave payout under your state or territory rules, this can be paid in their final pay. In MYOB, you’d process this by entering the pro rata long service leave hours against the Long Service Leave wage pay item on the employee’s final pay. Because long service leave rules can vary by state or territory, and unpaid leave can affect how service is counted, we’d recommend confirming the entitlement and calculation against the relevant legislation or Fair Work before processing it. For more info, you can check this MYOB help page: Long service leave
