Client surveys: initial findings
We value and use the feedback employees and employers provide through our periodic client satisfaction surveys. We now have initial findings to share from our 2022–23 Client Satisfaction Survey program. Top of the list is more automation and availability of online services. Employers may be interested to learn more than 2 in 3 employees agreed that the scheme has a positive influence on their intention to stay in the industry.
Public holidays and long service leave
With the Christmas break approaching fast, remember that under Section 39AE of the Admin Act, public holidays do not count as long service leave.
This means if you have employees on long service leave on a public holiday during that period, they will not have any hours deducted from their long service leave balance.
If you have any questions about completing or amending leave applications for the Christmas break, please get in touch. Our recent article about the Queen's Memorial Public Holiday may also provide some insights for administration of leave applications that include public holidays.
Season’s greetings
From our team to yours: we wish you a wonderful holiday season with your loved ones.
Our office will be closed from 12 noon on Friday 23 December and reopen for business as usual at 8.30am on Tuesday 3 January.
Last leave and levy submissions for 2022
Plan ahead for the Christmas break…
Leave applications should be submitted by Friday 16 December for processing this year. Applications received after this date may not be processed until after Tuesday 3 January.
There are no changes to submission or payment dates for levy returns; they're still required on or before 28 December for November hours.
Annual Report 2021–22 now available
Last financial year we processed 19,033 long service leave applications for 54,603 active eligible employees, and reimbursed employers more than $150 million in employee long service leave entitlements. Details of achievements for the last financial year are available online now.
