toroSnespd: 59fh7fc15i5234r9ft217 3Mm107f i061aahu05f60tch7g ·I had been with this company for over 11 years. Started in 2011. Casual for 5 years then full time in 2016, resigned in 2022.
I had asked them at the 10 year mark for my LSL, they said I hadn't been full time long enough.
I looked it up, it says 10 years continous service no matter if you're casual, part time or full time. Unless i'm missing something.
Upon resigning I asked them again. and again they denied me. I went to Fair Work who sent me Long Service Leave claim forms.
I filled them out, sent them to the Office of Legislation (Queensland)
They investigated, they were given documents by the company saying that I had taken bits and pieces of my LSL over the years that I was working there.
I'm like WTF? I never applied for LSL ever! (I always thought you had to wait 10 years).
Is the company allowed to do that? (Also they said I wasn't full time long enough, so two different stories!)
In 2011 whenI started I signed a piece of paper stating what my duties were and annual leave advice. Nothing about LSL. When we went full time in 2016 we signed a much more detailed contract. That had a section for LSL. Office of Legislation are saying the documents they received look legit. I have all my payslips, nowhere does it say LSL payments were made. We did receive Christmas Bonuses every year and during my Casual employment they did pay us 2 weeks bonus when they shut down over Christmas. It says bonus on the payslip. Are they allowed to say the Bonuses are LSL?
It sounds dodgy to me and I don't think Legislation are going too hard at it and at the moment still waiting to hear back from them with the outcome.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.
