28 AprQuarterly return to the Vic Portable Long Service Leave Scheme due on 30 April
Children’s services, including Approved Providers and licensed children’s services, are required to make their first quarterly returns for the Victorian Portable Long Service Leave Scheme by 30 April.
Once you have completed your return and it has been submitted to the Authority through the portal, the system will review the return for errors and discrepancies. If it finds none, it will generate an invoice and email it to the nominated account. You will have 14 days to make the payment.
While employers will still need to meet their legislative requirements under the Portable Long Service Benefits Scheme, the Portable Long Service Authority encourages any businesses experiencing hardship as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic to make contact with their Customer Service and Education Team to discuss their options.
Penalties apply for failing to register for the scheme as an employer, failing to register your employees, failing to provide a quarterly return, and failing to pay the levy. If you are unsure whether the scheme applies to you, or your employees, contact the Portable Long Service Authority on 1800 517 158 or visit their website.
