COMMUNITY SERVICES INDUSTRY (PORTABLE LONG SERVICE LEAVE) ACT 2020 - SECT 62

62 Crediting service

(1) If a worker performs any community services work in a return period, the worker must be credited in the register of workers with 1 day of service for each day in the return period, whether or not the worker performed community services work on a particular day.

Examples—

1 If a return period is 92 days and a worker only performs community services work on 1 day each week during the 92 day period, the worker must be credited with 92 days of service in the register of workers for the return period, even though the worker only performed community services work on 13 of the days.

2 If there are 4 return periods during a worker’s engagement period, and the worker only performs community services work during 3 of the return periods, the worker must be credited with service for the total number of days in each of the 3 return periods.

(2) However, a worker must not be credited in a return period for a day that is not part of an engagement period for the worker.

Example—

If a worker stops being engaged by an employer on a Monday and is not engaged by another employer to perform community services work until the following Thursday, the worker must not be credited in the register of workers with service for the intervening Tuesday and Wednesday.

(3) A worker mentioned in section 61 (3) (b) must be credited with service as if the worker had performed community services work from the day of injury until whichever of the following circumstances happen first—

(a) a period of 6 months ends after the day of the injury;

(b) the worker engages in employment.
