TAS Q & A

TAS-specific leave questions.

How much long service leave do I get in TAS?
8.67 weeks after 10 years of continuous service with the same employer, under the Long Service Leave Act 1976 (TAS). Pro-rata payout becomes available after 7 years on termination. Calculate your TAS LSL →
When does TAS long service leave become payable on termination?
Pro-rata payout is available after 7 years of continuous service in most circumstances. Earlier pro-rata may apply on death, illness, retrenchment or harassment-related termination, depending on the specific provisions of the Long Service Leave Act 1976. Resignation typically triggers payout once the 7-year mark is reached.
What's the TAS pro-rata LSL formula?
TAS grants 8.67 weeks at the 10-year trigger, which works out to ~0.867 weeks per year of service. After 7 years on termination you'd be entitled to roughly 6.07 weeks pro-rata.
Do TAS casuals get long service leave?
Yes, where employment has been "regular and systematic" over the qualifying period. A casual working consistent shifts for 10 years has the same TAS LSL entitlement as a permanent employee. Casual loading does not exclude LSL eligibility under the Long Service Leave Act 1976.
How many public holidays does TAS have in 2026?
9 gazetted public holidays in 2026 — lower than most states because some local holidays (e.g. show days) are gazetted regionally rather than statewide. This includes the 7 national holidays (New Year's Day, Australia Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Anzac Day, Christmas Day, Boxing Day) plus 2 TAS-specific days. See the full 2026 TAS calendar →
Does TAS substitute public holidays that fall on weekends?
Yes. When a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday in TAS, the state government typically gazettes the following Monday as a substitute. The Fair Work Act 2009 (s.115) recognises substitute days, and penalty rates apply on the substitute, not the calendar date.
Is annual leave different in TAS?
No. Annual leave (4 weeks for FT/PT under NES s.87) is identical Australia-wide because it's federal. TAS only differs in the layered entitlements: long service leave (Long Service Leave Act 1976 (TAS)) and the gazetted public holidays calendar.
What law governs long service leave in TAS?
The Long Service Leave Act 1976 (TAS) is the source of LSL entitlements for most Tasmania employees. It sits alongside (and is preserved by) the National Employment Standards. Federal awards may include LSL provisions for specific industries (e.g. coal mining, security), in which case those override the state Act.
