4.31 pmHon. G GRACESupports

As Minister for Industrial Relations, moved the second reading and strongly advocated for the bill, describing it as a momentous day for community services workers who will finally have access to portable long service leave entitlements.

“This is a momentous day for workers in the community services sector. The portable long service leave scheme to be established under this bill will, for the first time in Queensland, allow community services workers to accumulate service across the community services sector as a whole, providing many of the 45,000 workers in the sector with access to long service leave entitlements for the first time.”— 2020-06-16View Hansard
4.57 pmMr BLEIJIESupports

Confirmed the LNP will support the portable long service leave provisions for community services workers, praising the sector's important work, while criticising the government's 51 pages of unrelated amendments being tacked onto the bill and lack of consultation.

“On behalf of all Liberal National Party members, I give a big shout-out to our wonderful community services workers in our electorates for the amazing work they do on the front line in all of our electorates across Queensland. They are an incredible group of people. That is why we are supporting the provisions in these amendments today.”— 2020-06-16View Hansard

Amendment

That the amendment be agreed to

Vote on Mr Bleijie's amendment to refer the bill back to the Education, Employment and Small Business Committee to examine the government's 51 pages of foreshadowed amendments before proceeding. The LNP argued the amendments (covering public sector wages, youth justice, quarantine costs, and other matters unrelated to portable long service leave) required proper committee scrutiny. The amendment was defeated.

Plain English Summary

Overview

This bill creates a portable long service leave scheme for Queensland's community services industry. Workers in this sector often move between employers due to short-term funding arrangements, making it hard to reach the 10 years of continuous service usually needed for long service leave. The scheme allows workers to accumulate leave credits across multiple employers, with entitlements payable after 7 years of industry service.

Who it affects

Community services workers gain the ability to build long service leave across the industry. Employers must register with the scheme and pay a 1.35% levy on workers' wages.

Key changes

  • Workers in community services can accumulate long service leave credits across multiple employers in the industry
  • After 7 years of credited service, workers are entitled to 6.1 weeks of paid leave
  • Employers must register with QLeave, submit quarterly returns, and pay a 1.35% levy on workers' ordinary wages
  • A new governing board with equal employer and worker representation will oversee the scheme
  • Employees dismissed due to illness after 7 years' service are now clearly entitled to pro rata long service leave under the Industrial Relations Act
