   The contingent period is the period of time after which an employer may be required to pay out long service leave under certain circumstances.
   The entitlement period is the period of time after which an employee is eligible for their long service leave entitlement.

This demonstration was completed for NSW but you can adjust the years to suit your State.

To achieve the request in regard to subsequent LSL, we recommend creating an additional LSL leave category and Leave template. Some clients identify the difference between the two through additions in the name, i.e. LSL 0-10yrs and LSL 10-15yrs.

In the new leave category, you will alter the contingent and entitlement periods to reflect your State. All other parts of the leave category settings will remain the same as the current one.

I have done this in the testing platform for demonstration purposes:

Then to the Leave templates. You will need to clone both NSW templates. I will show you the first one as done in the testing platform:

In the top section you will leave the initial LSL switched on and also turn on the new one:

Then scroll down to the actual leave. For the base LSL, tick override and change the units to zero. The idea here is that once an employee is on this template, you do not want them accruing more of this leave, but they need to be able to access the leave to take it.

Then scroll down to the new leave category and ensure the units here are showing and save. This then means that any employee on this template will accrue this LSL category rather than the other one.

If the employee is on an Award and classification/ employment agreement, then you will need to add the new templates to that Employment Agreement. 

Any time you update a setting in the payroll platform, you also need to pull the information through to the HR platform. You can complete this through General Settings> Add-ons> Action> Update> pay items. This ensures that all information is the same on both platforms. Otherwise, the HR platform will override the payroll information during the next sync.

Once this sync is complete, it will be available in the HR platform for you to choose.

We recommend that you create a new salary in these circumstances, rather than an edit, to ensure a clear visual audit trail of changes. The change of this template is a manual process and cannot be automated. However, you may wish to set up a Task in the HR platform to assist as a reminder- Managing other tasks - HR Web Platform .

If you find that you need to complete any Leave Adjustments, you will be able to do so on your next pay run.
