Season’s greetings

From our team to yours: we wish you a wonderful holiday season, reconnecting with your family and friends.

Our office will be closed from Friday 24 December and reopen for business as usual at 8.30am on Thursday 6 January.
 

Last submissions
for 2021

Just a heads-up that leave applications should be submitted by Wednesday 15 December for processing this year. Applications received after this date may not be processed until after Thursday 6 January.

There are no changes to Levy Advice form submission and payment dates; they're still required on 28 December for November hours.

Levy Loader update

The new Levy Loader technology rollout is well underway. Just a reminder that primary contacts will be contacted directly by Coal LSL when it’s your organisation’s turn to enrol for Levy Loader. In the meantime, please continue to use the existing Levy Advice form, available from our website, and follow the current processes. If you're already using Levy Loader, there are plenty of support materials on the website.

Adjustment levy/refund changes

We've recently made changes to the Adjustment Levy Advice form and the way employers claim refunds from adjustments.

Waiver agreements

Waiver agreements provide some eligible employees with an alternative to long service leave under certain circumstances. Instead of accruing leave, employees can choose to receive additional remuneration or additional superannuation contributions that are (at least) equal to the amount of levy which you would otherwise pay into the scheme on their behalf.

Coal LSL Annual Report 2020–21 now available

The Fund closed the year managing 57 million hours of leave for 131,348 eligible employees, having reimbursed employers more than $156 million in employee long service leave entitlements. Details of achievements against our Corporate Plan are available online now.

Client survey results

Thank you to everyone who responded to our 2021 Client Satisfaction Survey. Key themes from employers were streamlining our services, making processes seamless and building stronger relationships with you. The most important matter reported is having an online levy submission process, which we’re pleased to be progressing on.
