Before you make a payment
If an employer intends to pay long service leave (under the Long Service Leave Act 1955) to a registered worker, the employer must advise the Corporation before the payment is made.
This is to prevent workers from receiving a long service payment from the scheme for the same period should they mistakenly apply to the Corporation at the same time.
Employers can contact Service NSW on 13 14 41 to check if a claim has been made by the worker prior to an employer paying a claim.
Failure by employers to adhere to the requirements, which results in a double payment to workers, may result in debt recovery action on workers. It may also prevent any payment to an employer where a worker claims a benefit from both the employer and the Corporation.
You must notify us of any proposed long service payments using the Employer Portal.
