Introduction
The Long Service Corporation (LSC) administers a portable long service scheme for building and construction workers in NSW. The scheme allows eligible workers in the industry to work for different employers, or as contractors, and qualify for a long service benefit.
If you employ workers on wages or salary to carry out building and construction work in NSW, you must:
- register as an employer
- lodge Start Notices and End Notices for employees commencing or finishing work with you
- submit an Employer Return annually
- keep books and records, such as time sheets.
The LSC portal lets you manage portable long service transactions and information online. You can:
-
update your contact details
-
add or remove workers
-
complete annual service returns
-
notify of intent to pay a worker's long service payment
-
confirm worker service
-
register as a new employer
