Vol. No.  

LONG SERVICE  

LEAVE  

D-G’S MEMO  

DECLARED  

ILLEGAL  

The Memorandum issued by  

The Director-General of  

Education imposing severe  

restrictions on Long service  

Leave, Leave Without Pay and  

Retirement was declared  

Illegal by Justice Macken on  

March 22nd.  

D.G. ATTACKS WORKING  

CONDITIONS  

Last year the Director General of Education  

issued memorandum on L.S.L., L.W.O.P. and  

Retirement. The changes involved were yet another  

attack on teachers’ working conditions. The attack  

on L.S.L. attempted to force teachers to take leave  

only in one term lots unless special compassionate  

circumstances existed.  

The Federation protested stating that the  

changed conditions were contrary to the statute  

covering L.S.L. (The Teaching Services Act) in that  

teachers who have through long service earned  

right to take L.S.L., were now being told that they  

could not take it unless such leave complied with  

the Director General’s memorandum. In other  

words teacher who, after ten years service, had  

right to take two months L.S.L. on full pay or  

four months L.S.L. on half pay was being told  

that such leave did not comply with the new  

guidelines and therefore could not be taken.  

After prolonged negotiations with the Federation  

the guidelines were revised in an attempt to get  

round the obvious illegality of the original  

memorandum. The revised memorandum, issued  

in October, permitted teacher without whole  

term’s leave credit to take the balance of that term  

as L.W.O.P. This would have forced person with  

an entitlement to paid leave to take portion of  

leave as unpaid leave. Another “liberalizing”change  

was to permit smaller amount of leave to be added  

to vacation period, such leave to be able to be  

taken only once every five years. As negotiations  

had broken down the Federation notified the  

Industrial Commission'that dispute existed and  

sought the assistance of the Commission in  

conciliating the dispute. Conciliation proved to be  

impossible and so the Federation made application  

for an award covering the taking of L.S.L. in the  

Education Teaching Service. The case came before  

Mr. Justice Macken on February 1989.
