Setting up long service leave

In Australia and for some New Zealand employers it is necessary to setup Long Service Leave for employees. This article shows an example of how this entitlement is added to Advanced People for use in an employee's record.

From the Payroll Configuration screen a Long Service Leave entitlement can be setup. The following example is how we would set this up for Victoria, Australia however this is completely customizable to apply to any Australian State. In New Zealand, companies who choose to offer Long Service Leave to employees, can also use this setup process.

The calculations for this example are based on a 38 hour week working 7.6 hours per day and made as follows:

Total entitlement is 8.6667 weeks being equivalent to 43.3335 days broken down as follows:

After the first 7 years there will be Lump Sum entitlement added to the employee's record followed by an accrual of 13.0001 days over the next 3 years to ensure the entitlement equals 43.3335 days at the 10 year anniversary.

For every 5 years of service after the 10 year anniversary a further 21.6665 days is accrued.
