The July program sees a revisit to some popular topics.
Firstly on Tuesday 29th July the topic is: Pro Rata Long Service Leave. How does it work and who is entitled?
Feedback from the NSW IR phone advisory service has been that there is still a lot of confusion about what is pro rata long service leave and when does it apply. The webinar will explain what is meant by the term pro rata long service leave and will look at the relevant provisions in the NSW Long Service Leave Act 1955. Some guidelines of things to consider in determining whether an entitlement may be due will be provided. This information will assist employers in responding to claims by employees for pro rata long service leave.
Tuesday 29th July 2.00 – 2.45 pm
Then on Wednesday 30th and Thursday 31st the topic is: National Employment Standards (NES)
