THE New South Wales Government has remade a regulation relating to long service leave in metalliferous mining.
The Long Service Leave (Metalliferous Mining Industry) Act 1963 provides that bonuses form part of the ordinary pay of a worker for the purposes of payment for long service leave unless the ordinary annual pay of the worker (excluding bonuses) exceeds an amount prescribed by the regulations.
The Long Service Leave (Metalliferous Mining Industry) Regulation 2016 prescribes that annual amount as either $144,000 or the amount calculated in accordance with regulation 2.13 of Chapter 2 of the Fair Work Regulations 2009 of the Commonwealth, whichever is the greater.
This regulation remakes, with minor amendments, the Long Service Leave (Metalliferous Mining Industry) Regulation 2011, which is to be repealed on 1 September 2016.
