Long Service Leave Provisions
Most Trades in the construction industry are covered by Government Long Service Leave Provisions and therefore no Long Service Provisions are required for employees not covered by a long service/redundancy trust.  A method of processing needs to be established from day one.  NSW has a system whereby site personnel are covered by contributions to LSL by local government upon delivering DA plans to applicants. Muli recommends Users check local conditions to ensure adequate provision is made for staff.

In many cases, Long Service Leave is not applicable as in many trade Awards, there is an Industry requirement to pay so much per week into a LSL Industry Fund.

Award pay obligations to an Industry Fund are in the Wxxx pay sequences while inhouse company provisions are in the Xxxx pay sequence codes.

Each Leave schedule is established with a given set of values to be used in establishing entitlement. If you wish to change the entitlement basis, then you need to establish a new leave allowance code with the given values included into the employee's pay sequence and mark the existing code as “not to be used”. At that time, an opening balance will need to be placed into the new code.

[9-8-6 Q2] All Leave allowances for an individual are able to be selected for display. If a User's start date is within one month of today's date, a button will allow the Payperson to initialise all Leave which will establish the default with the employee start date as the Leave start date.

The basis of the amount of Provision is dependent on controls in Payroll.

By clicking on an individual's Leave, a maintenance screen appears to allow adjustment of  an individual's values.

Each time a payroll is processed, the calculation is updated in terms of entitlement and usage.
