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.
