calx.io/VIC Long Service Leave Calculator
Calculate long service leave in Victoria: access after 7 years, 1 week per 60 weeks worked, paid out on any termination.
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.
