long service leave
Long service leave is a type of leave entitlement provided to employees who have worked for the same employer for an extended period. The specifics of this leave, including its duration, are typically determined by the applicable award or agreement.
Long service leave is a reward for employee loyalty, offered after working with the same employer for a certain period, often many years. This leave is longer than usual annual leave and is paid. The exact time required to qualify for long service leave and the amount of leave available varies, usually outlined in the employee's award, registered agreement or state legislation. It's a way to acknowledge and reward long-term commitment to an employer.
