Common use of Effect of Other Leave Clause in Contracts

Effect of Other Leave. (a) Various other types of leave may affect the calculation of long service leave eligibility. (b) Generally, leave without pay does not count as service within the first ten years of employment. After the initial period of ten years of service, however, any period of leave without pay of less than six months will be counted as service for the purpose of long service leave accrual. If a period of leave without pay exceeds six months the whole period of leave will not generally count as service for long service leave purposes. Exceptions may be made if an employee takes such leave to engage in other employment and the other employer is willing to pay to the University an appropriate percentage of the employee's salary specifically to cover the employee's accrual of long service leave. (c) Paid leave of any kind will count as service for the accrual of long service leave. (d) Sickness of one week or more occurring during a period of long service leave will, upon the production of a medical certificate, be treated as sick leave and an equivalent period of long service leave will be recredited. (e) Periods of long service leave will count as service for the purposes of assessing further long service leave.
