27.5 Transfer of service
Subject to 27.5.2 service with any other respondent to this award is transferable for the purposes of computing service for long service leave.
27.5.1 Service with a previous employer is transferable for the purpose of computing service for Long Service Leave where both employers are respondents to this award and the break in service between the two employers does not exceed 12 months, or the break in service is greater than twelve months and the Committee agrees to recognise such service.
27.5.2 Where service with another employer is recognised for the computation of long Service Leave by the Committee, a period of not less than three years service with the current employer must be completed before the employee is eligible to take Long Service Leave.
27.6 An employee, or where applicable his or her legal representative, after 3 years service with that employer must be paid in lieu for Long Service Leave accrued but not taken as at the date of termination of service where the accumulated period of recognised service is 5 years or more. Calculation for such payment must be in accordance with clause 27.4.

27.12 Although approved leave without pay is not counted as time worked for the purposes of calculating long service leave credits, it must be recognised as establishing the continuous employment of the employee.

27.14 Where an employee with accrued sick leave credits is ill whilst on long service leave, the employee must be placed on sick leave and no deduction is to be made from long service leave credits for those days. Evidence of illness must be provided in accordance with clause 24.4.
