Employer Direction to Take Long Service Leave. (a) In the first instance an employee and employer may agree when the employee is to take Long Service Leave (LSL). This will normally occur through the employee applying, in accordance with 6.3.2 above, to access their leave. (b) Where an employer has concerns that an employee has excess leave, the provisions of paragraphs (c) and (d) below will apply. However, before directing an employee to take LSL, discussions will occur in a genuine attempt to achieve agreement as to when such leave is to be taken. (c) An employer may direct an employee to take the full period of long service leave accrued within 12 calendar months of the date upon which the teacher's accrued entitlement reaches thirteen (13) weeks and the employee shall so take that leave. (d) An employer shall give at least twenty (20) weeks’ notice in writing of the direction to take leave. However, where the eligible service has been served with two (2) or more employers, the period of notice shall be nine (9) calendar months for either party.
