Summary

This article explains how to set up Long Service Leave for Casual employees

End Result

Casual Employees will accrue paid long service leave when they have completed a continuous period of ten years service with the same employer. The amount of hours to be accrued is provided by each State legislation (eg. full-time, part-time and casual workers in NSW are entitled to 2 months (8.6667 weeks) paid long service leave )

Method

In order to set this leave award code refer to Payroll Configurations> Leave awards Tab

• Create the Leave Award in Awards Tab, and set the Calc Method as 'Hours worked' and Full Time Hours /Pay 
• In Leave Section Set the Units as 'Hours' and tick the required flags
• To set the rules refer to Leave Entitlements section and set "After Months Employed" = 0 for the entitlement to accrue each pay period the casual is paid from their first pay period

As an example For a 40 hour week:

Accrue 8.6667 weeks = 8.6667 x 40 hours = 346.668 hours

For working full time 40 hrs weeks x 52.18 weeks x 10 years = 20,872 hours/year

After 20,872 hours of work (10 years) you have 346.668 hours = 346.668/20,872 = 0.0166 per hour worked

The outcome is :

Employees under this award accrue 0.0166 hours of LSL for every hour worked

Considerations

Please Note! Casual Staff need to be on a Leave Award set to "Hours Worked"

Please refer to your State legislation to set this up using the method provided.
