Q & A

Final pay questions for ACT.

How much long service leave do I get in ACT?
6.07 weeks after 7 years of continuous service with the same employer, under the Long Service Leave Act 1976 (ACT). Pro-rata payout becomes available after 5 years on termination. Calculate your ACT LSL →
When does ACT long service leave become payable on termination?
Pro-rata payout is available after 5 years of continuous service in most circumstances. Earlier pro-rata may apply on death, illness, retrenchment or harassment-related termination, depending on the specific provisions of the Long Service Leave Act 1976. Resignation typically triggers payout once the 5-year mark is reached.
What's the ACT pro-rata LSL formula?
ACT uses the 1/60th formula: weeks of LSL = total weeks of service divided by 60. So 7 years of service equals (7 × 52) ÷ 60 = 6.07 weeks. The longer you stay, the more leave accrues, with no cap.
What's included in final pay when I leave a job?
Final pay covers: any notice owed (or PILON), unused annual leave at base + loading, unused LSL where applicable, plus redundancy pay if your role was made redundant. It must be paid within 7 days of termination under most awards. Redundancy calculator (separate) →
How much notice does my employer have to give me?
Under s.117 of the Fair Work Act: 1 week (under 1 year), 2 weeks (1-3 yrs), 3 weeks (3-5 yrs), 4 weeks (5+ yrs). Add 1 week if you're over 45 with 2+ years service. Awards or contracts may require more.
Is unused annual leave paid out at base rate or with loading?
Base rate is the legal minimum (s.90). Most awards require loading too (17.5%) when the loading would have applied to the leave if taken. Check your award or contract.
When does final pay have to be paid?
Most modern awards require final pay within 7 days of termination. The Fair Work Act doesn't set a federal deadline, but unreasonable delay can trigger underpayment claims.
