When a worker enters a period of long service leave, the employer shall pay to the worker his or her ordinary pay in respect of the period of leave. According to sec 3(1) of the Long Service Leave Act 1955, the ordinary rate of pay is the total amount an employee would receive if performing the ordinary hours of work.
The ordinary rate of pay does not include overtime, penalty rates, disability allowances, shift allowances, special rates, fares, travelling time allowances or any other extraneous payments of a like nature.
