Long Service Leave

Extra time off to celebrate long-standing employees.

What is Long Service Leave?

Long service leave is a form of extended paid or unpaid leave awarded to employees after a significant period of continuous service, often ranging from 5 to 15 years depending on statutory requirements. It allows individuals to take an extended break for travel, education, or personal projects. This benefit recognises loyalty and provides an opportunity for rejuvenation unrelated to standard annual leave.

Benefits to Employer

By rewarding tenure, employers can reduce recruitment and training costs associated with high staff turnover. Recognising loyalty can boost morale and motivate employees to sustain high performance. Extended leave also enables companies to temporarily redistribute roles, offering skill-development opportunities for other team members.

Benefits to Employee

Employees enjoy an extended period away from work to pursue interests, recharge mentally, or address personal goals. This break often leads to increased creativity and reduced burnout, enhancing productivity upon return. The recognition of dedicated service reinforces job satisfaction and pride in their contributions to an organisation.
