HOW IT ALL WORKS

TasBuild is required to maintain a register for employers and workers in the construction industry. This register helps you keep track of your entitlements by recording your days of service across all employers or projects.
Our role is to record days worked, invest funds and pay your long service benefits so that you can take a well deserved holiday when you reach an entitlement.

WHAT WE DO

We protect your long service leave entitlements by keeping a record of your service and collecting contributions from employers to fund your entitlements. We then invest these contributions to ensure we have sufficient funds to pay your entitlement when it’s time for you to take your leave and enjoy a hard-earned break. We do this in accordance with the Construction Industry (Long Service) Act 1997.
