Ai Group makes this submission in response to the ACT Government’s Consultation Paper, Portable Long Service Leave Expansion: A proposal to establish new long service leave schemes in the ACT (Consultation Paper) released in June 2022.
The Consultation Paper proposes that the ACT’s Portable Leave Schemes (ACT PLS) be expanded to cover employers and employees in a range of industries beyond those presently identified as covered industries, which include building and construction industry; contract cleaning industry; community sector industry; and security services.
Ai Group strongly opposes the further expansion of the ACT PLS beyond the current covered industries. The proposal to expand the nominated industries and occupations is ill-conceived and should not proceed.
