long service leave purposes recognised for a calendar day.
3.  If a member has part-time service with two employers at the same time, the weekly hours are added together to determine service for long service leave. The member is subject to the limit in subsection 2.

5.5.17 Effect of part-time prior service

2.  Members with part-time prior service need to have these periods converted to full-time equivalents.
    a.                                                                                                                                                           Subsection 3 gives the method for adjusting the period of part-time service to the
                                                                                                                                                                 full-time equivalent.
    b.                                                                                                                                                           Subsection 5 gives the method for adjusting the period of part-time leave to the
                                                                                                                                                                 full-time equivalent.
3.  Prior part-time service counts as accrued service but the period of service is adjusted to reflect the part-time hours worked. This table shows the method.

Step  Action
1.    Work out the length of the member's part-time prior service, in days.
2.    Work out the member's average weekly hours during that period. If the member had different periods at different weekly rates, these should be calculated separately.
3.    Multiply the two figures together.
4.    Divide this total by 36.75. This figure is the number of days of prior service that may be recognised.
5.    If the member had different periods at different weekly rates, steps 1 to 4 should be worked out separately for each period. The periods are added at the end to give the total part-time prior service.
6.    The total should be included in the member's period of service for when working out their credit.

4.  The difference between the following periods is recorded as non-service days.
    a.                                                                                                                                                                  The calendar days in the period.
    b.                                                                                                                                                                  The number of days to be recognised as a result of the calculations in subsection 3.
5.  Prior part-time leave should be adjusted to its full-time equivalent before being deducted from a member's long service leave credit. This table shows the method.

Step  Action
1.    Work out the periods of long service leave that were paid at part-time rates.

      Note: This includes payment instead of long service leave. It does not include half-pay long service leave if the amount paid was half of the person's full-time hours.
2.    Work out weekly hours the person was paid for the leave. If the member had different periods of leave at different weekly rates, these should be calculated separately.
      Note: If the person took the leave at half pay, use their weekly part-time hours, not the half part-time hours that they were paid.
3.    Divide their weekly part-time hours (Step 2) by 36.75.
4.    Multiply Step 1 by Step 3.
5.    If any of the periods of leave were at half pay, divide Step 4 by 2.
6.    If the member had different periods
