Long Service Leave

Changing jobs & portable schemes

In many jurisdictions, LSL is tied to continuous service with the same employer. If you change employers, you may lose continuity unless:

  • There is a portable LSL scheme in your industry/jurisdiction; or
  • A transfer of business or similar arrangement preserves continuity under the applicable law/instrument.

Always check the specific legislation or industry scheme before moving roles. If needed, contact Professionals Australia for assistance.
