Worker Information
This section contains information for workers in the building and construction industry in New South Wales. It explains in detail the benefits of the industry's portable long service payments scheme. It also explains what workers in the industry must do to get those benefits.
The scheme covers employees on wages or salary, self employed contractors and persons who are directors of their own building and construction firms who work on tools doing building and construction work. To get a benefit, all these workers must be registered with the Long Service Payments Corporation.
