The applicable long service leave law is **Victorian State law**, not a uniform Commonwealth/Fair Work long service leave scale.

Although the employee is a national-system employee under the **Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth)**, the Fair Work Act/NES preserve long service leave entitlements by reference to applicable State/Territory laws and certain preserved instruments. For an employee working in Victoria, the general governing statute is the **Long Service Leave Act 2018 (Vic)**, made by the **Victorian State Parliament** — that is, the **State** level of government.

Under the Victorian Act, the general entitlement is:

\[
\text{long service leave}=\frac{\text{period of continuous employment}}{60}-\text{long service leave already taken}.
\]

In weekly terms, approximately:

- **7 years** continuous employment: \(7 \times 52 / 60 = 6.07\) weeks;
- **10 years** continuous employment: \(10 \times 52 / 60 = 8.67\) weeks;
- **15 years** continuous employment: \(15 \times 52 / 60 = 13\) weeks.

The entitlement generally becomes available after **7 years’ continuous employment** and is paid at ordinary pay, subject to the Victorian Act and any applicable preserved industrial instrument or Victorian portable long service leave scheme.
