The Legal Risk Score of a Long Service Leave Policy Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • It can be changed easily.
  • The minimum long service leave periods are easy to access and calculate.
  • The enforcement of the policy through potential disciplinary actions, including termination, for breaches may create a sense of rigidity and deter employees from freely discussing or negotiating terms related to their long service leave.
