How do I calculate my long service leave in South Australia as one week of leave for every X weeks of work?

In South Australia, the rate is 1 week of leave for every 40 weeks of work.

Most South Australia workers are entitled to 13 weeks of long service leave after 10 years of continuous service.

The accrual rate can be set to 1 week for every 40 weeks of work based on the calculation of:

  1. Total Service in Weeks: 10 years * 52 weeks = 520 weeks
  2. Weeks of Work per Week of Leave: 520 weeks of service / 13 weeks of leave = 40 weeks.
