NSW Long Service Payments
Corporation
In the early 1970’s the building unions campaigned for portable
long service scheme for building workers. The Building &
Construction Industry Long Service Payments scheme established
in 1974 is the best long service scheme in Australia.
Unlike all other workers in Australia, building workers do not
have to work for one employer for ten years to receive long
service.
Under the
portable scheme, employers are required to submit a full list of
employees to the Long Service Payment Corporation by 31 July
each year along with details of any employee who has commenced
or terminated during the previous 12 month period.
