Queensland employees in the national system are covered by the Fair Work Act. State-specific rules govern Long Service Leave under the Industrial Relations Act 2016 and certain public sector entitlements.
Under the Industrial Relations Act 2016, QLD employees are entitled to 8.67 weeks (2 months) of paid LSL after 10 years of continuous service. A pro-rated entitlement applies after 7 years if the employment ends for any reason other than genuine redundancy or serious misconduct.
How ClockIt Helps
ClockIt tracks QLD LSL accrual from commencement, flags the 7-year pro-rata eligibility milestone, and calculates the 8.67-week entitlement for payroll liability reporting.
Employers using annualised salary arrangements must perform an annual reconciliation to ensure each employee's actual hours and entitlements are not below the Award minimums. Any shortfall must be paid as a 'catch-up' within the next pay period. Records of hours worked must be kept for 7 years.
How ClockIt Helps
ClockIt's annualised salary module automatically runs the reconciliation calculation at the 12-month anniversary and generates the shortfall catch-up payment, meeting the FWC record-keeping requirements.
Never worry about missing an overtime threshold, break penalty, or leave entitlement again.
