LONG SERVICE LEAVE (COMMONWEALTH EMPLOYEES) ACT 1976 No. 192, 1976 - SECT 14

14. (1) Where the period of service of an employee includes a period of
employment in a qualifying service that is wholly or partly concurrent with a
period of employment in another qualifying service, sub-sections (3), (4) and
(5) apply for the purpose of determining the extent (if any) to which each of
those periods is to count in ascertaining the period of leave that may at any
time be granted to the employee under this Act or the payment that may at any
time be made under this Act to or in respect of the employee.

(2) In applying sub-sections (3), (4) and (5) to and in relation to an
employee-

   (a)  sub-section (3) shall, if applicable, be applied before sub- section
        (4) or (5); and

   (b)  sub-section (4) shall, if applicable, be applied before sub- section
        (5).

(3) Where, on the day on which leave is granted to an employee under this Act
or an employee ceases to be an employee, the employee is also employed in a
qualifying service other than Government Service, so much of his current
period of employment in that first-mentioned service as is or was concurrent
with any of his employment in Government Service does not count as employment
in that first-mentioned service.

(4) Where a person is or was employed in a qualifying service in a full-time
capacity, any employment in a qualifying service in a part-time capacity that
is or was concurrent with that first-mentioned employment does not count as
employment in such a service.

(5) Where a person who is or was employed in a qualifying service in a
part-time capacity renders or rendered on a day service for a period in
accordance with the terms of his employment and the person also renders or
rendered service for a further period on that day in accordance with the terms
of other employment in a part-time capacity in a qualifying service, his
period of employment on that day shall be taken to be a period equal to the
sum of those periods.

(6) This section applies in relation to the employment of an employee to whom
section 13 applies during the period referred to in that section as the period
of his relevant employment as if-

   (a)  in a case where he was employed in one service only during that
        period-his employment in that service was employment in a qualifying
        service; or

   (b)  in a case where he was employed in 2 or more services during that
        period-his employment in each such service was employment in a
        qualifying service.
