Under the WA Long Service Leave Act, an employee's entitlement to long service leave depends on the length of their continuous employment with a business or organisation.
The term continuous employment is not restricted to service with just the existing employer, but can also include employers who previously owned the business.
If a new employer buys or takes over a business, and retains the existing employees, the employer will take on all the long service leave obligations for those employees. This applies regardless of anything written in a sale of business contract.
