The Employment Relations Department can assist with the calculation of Long Service Leave entitlements. To access this service, download and complete the Long Service Leave Calculation Request Form (pdf).
For more information about Long Service Leave entitlements and calculations download the Long Service Leave Fact Sheet (pdf).
Note: the calculation service is free to QHA hotel/venue members (limit of three per calendar year per venue and thereafter $99.00* per calculation). Corporate QHA members and Partners can also access the service for a fee of $99.00 per calculation. Non QHA member calculations are undertaken for $169.00 per calculation. Terms and conditions for long service leave calculations are contained in the request.
Full Time employees - entitlements
Long service leave entitlements are calculated based on the period of service an employee has completed. Full time employees are eligible for long service leave entitlement of 8.6667 weeks leave after 10 years continuous service. This long service leave entitlement was introduced as an amendment to the Industrial Relations Act effective from 3 June 2001. Depending on when the employee commenced employment and how many years service, if any, had been completed prior to 3 June 2001, a different formula is used to calculated the long service leave entitlement.
Regular Part Time & Casual Employees
The qualifying period for long service leave entitlements for casual or regular part time employees is the same as that for full time employees, however the number of hours leave due and the amount payable at that time will be determined by the reduced hours worked by the employee.
The number of hours leave to which a regular part time or casual employee is entitled, is calculated by dividing the total ordinary hours worked during the period of service by 52 and multiplying this amount by 0.86667.

Has one of your employees raised a complaint or concern in relation to the terms and conditions of their employment?
If so, the Employment Relations Department can assist you, on behalf of the employer.
We are able to assist you as an actual representative or alternatively by providing advice and assistance to you behind the scenes without the other party actually being aware.
As your representative we can advise you about the appropriate course of action, speak to your employee or the employee’s authorised representative, enter into negotiations and attend to any correspondence.
Alternatively, by providing advice and assistance to you behind the scenes, we can advise you about the appropriate course of action and draft your correspondence. This has become quite a popular service as it reduces the likelihood of the employee escalating their concern or complaint and increases the likelihood of the matter being resolved.
Let the QHA Assist You!
For the nominal fee of $250.00 plus GST per hour, one of the QHA’s Employment Relations experts can represent your interests and achieve the best outcome for you.

A workplace incident may require formal investigation where the incident potentially breaches an industrial instrument or workplace policy. This is particularly the case where the alleged incident may result in disciplinary action against an employee or employees.
A fair and thorough investigation of workplace incidents will reduce the likelihood of industrial claims being made by employees, particularly where an employee complaint is not investigated properly or not at all. This may lead to employees lodging claims in external bodies, such as the Fair Work Commission or Queensland Human Rights Commission.
While an employer would be able to conduct an investigation internally, there is always the apprehension of bias by employees. Therefore, it is a good idea to have the investigation conducted by someone external to the employer's business.
The Employment Relations Department can conduct workplace investigations on behalf of employers. In order to conduct a workplace investigation, attendance at the workplace is not necessarily required. All relevant documentation can be provided to the investigator electronically or by mail and any interviews can be conducted by telephone. This saves an enormous amount of time and costs and also allows the investigation to be conducted at any workplace in Queensland with telephone access.
For the nominal hourly fee of $250.00* plus GST per hour, one of the QHA's Employment Relations experts can undertake the workplace investigation on your behalf.
