Your figures
Your Service
Continuous service with the one employer (or business, through sales and restructures). Approved unpaid leave usually does not break continuity but may not count towards it.
Estimates only, not legal advice. Long service leave is state law and the fine print (casual continuity tests, what counts as ordinary pay, misconduct exclusions) varies. Construction, cleaning, security and community services workers are often under portable schemes with different rules. Confirm with your state's authority before relying on a figure.

Frequently asked questions
How much long service leave do I get in the NT?
You get 13 weeks after 10 years of continuous service under the Long Service Leave Act 1981, building up at 1.3 weeks per year. That is equal with South Australia as the most generous in the country.
Do I get long service leave if I resign in the NT?
Only for qualifying reasons between 7 and 10 years: reaching retirement age, your employer ending your employment for anything except serious misconduct, or leaving because of illness, incapacity, or a domestic or other pressing necessity. In this window the NT also counts completed years only, so 8 and a half years of service pays out 8 years of accrual.
What happens to long service leave after 10 years in the NT?
You can take the full 13 weeks. Any leave you have not taken is paid out if your employment ends for any reason, and you keep building it up at 1.3 weeks per year.
