Long Service Leave Entitlement

Long Service Leave Entitlement



Applies to: all TWL team

Overview

Your employment agreement sets out your current annual, bereavement and sick/domestic leave entitlements and benefits. We ensure we meet NZ employment law requirements and exceed them in some cases. 

Entitlement

We recognise exceptional commitment to the business through your length of service by offering a long service leave benefit.

At 10, 20 and 30 years' service you get an additional one-off special allocation of an extra four weeks leave. 

This is on top of your normal annual leave.  

Where you resign from employment with the Company before completing a service period there is no entitlement to proportionate payments of long service leave. 

A week of long service leave is calculated based on the hours worked in a week at the time the long service leave is taken. It does not matter what hours have been worked during the qualifying period.
