Our influence goes beyond our own organisation and improves the whole construction industry. Workers in this sector will benefit firsthand from the improvements LeavePlus makes in these exciting years ahead. If this interests you, we should talk.
Our Purpose
LeavePlus provides portable Long Service leave to workers in the construction industry in Victoria. Without portable Long Service Leave, construction industry workers would have to work for the same employer for at least seven years – with no more than 3 months break – to earn long service leave.
It is clear that many workers are disadvantaged if they work in an industry based on separate projects, and frequently move from employer to employer. The construction industry is a typical example of this way of working. It was for this reason that a portable LSL scheme for construction workers was set up in Victoria in 1976. Over 97 per cent of workers in our scheme have had more than one employer over their qualifying period. If not for LeavePlus, these workers would not have been entitled to long service leave.
Safeguarding The Construction Industry
LeavePlus keeps a record of how many days of eligible service a worker accrues in Victoria – this record of service is centralised with us so that we can keep track of your accrued service throughout all of your employers. Once you have built up seven or more years of eligible service, you will be able to claim Long Service Leave from LeavePlus at any point thereafter.
LeavePlus is a compulsory part of the construction industry in Victoria. As such, all employers who perform covered work are required to record with LeavePlus how many days each worker has performed – this is done quarterly and builds up your record of service. The employer then pays a contribution fee into the Long Service Leave Fund so that we can ensure LeavePlus is sufficiently funded to be able to pay out claims to all eligible workers when they make their claim for Long Service Leave
