Obligations

Businesses which employ persons to perform work covered by the Scheme are required by law to register with LeavePlus, report service for their workers, and pay long service leave charges.

Charges

Employers are required to report service for workers covered by the Scheme and pay long service leave charges to the Fund. The long service leave charge for employers is 2.7% of the total gross wages reported for your eligible workers.

Reporting Service

Employers are required to complete quarterly Workers Days and Wages (WDW) returns to report the service of their workers. You can also complete a Missing Service application if previous service has been unreported or misreported for your workers.

Business Owners

Many business owners in the construction industry also perform trade work covered under the rules of the Scheme. Employers and business owners may have different obligations dependent on the way that their business is structured.
