Q: Do we pay super on long service leave payments?

A: Yes, if the long service leave is taken and not paid out on termination of employment.

Superannuation contributions are required to be made in addition to the long service leave entitlement on ordinary pay. If long service leave is paid out upon termination of employment, superannuation contributions are not required to be made.
