Hi,
I have been employed in Victoria from 2010 to 2013. Then I transferred in 2013 to the Chinese subsidiary (100% owned by the Victorian business, same management) and worked there until now. During all that time, my employment contract has been with the Australian business. I just resigned and my employer tells me that because I reside overseas there is no entitlement for Long Service Leave payment. Is this legal?
Reading the LSL Act, I am pretty sure the above qualifies as Continuous Employment. Before going legal, I'd like some opinions.
Many thanks
