17  Section 5.5.8 (How much long service leave?)
    Omit the section, substitute:

5.5.8    Long service leave entitlement
1.  A member is entitled to a long service leave credit once the member has completed 10 years of accrued service.
    See: Division 3 for how service is accrued for long service leave.
2.  Long service leave credits are credited to a member on the completion of the following.
    a.                                                                                                                  10 years of accrued service.
    b.                                                                                                                  every year of accrued service thereafter.
    Note: Credit is not given for part years of accrued service.
3.  Annual long service leave credit is calculated on the following basis.
    a.                                                                                                                  If the member is not on a flexible service determination for any period during a completed year of accrued service, the member earns 0.3 of a month long service leave credit.
    b.                                                                                                                  If the member is on one or more flexible service determinations during a year of accrued service, the member's long service leave credit for the year is the sum of the long service leave credit for each period.
                                                                                                                        Example: Within one year of accrued service a member was on a flexible service determination for three months, followed by six months not on a flexible service determination, followed by another 2 months on a flexible service determination.
                                                                                                                        The member's long service leave credit for the year is the credit earnt for each period added together.
4.  For the purposes of paragraph 3.b, a member's long service leave credit is calculated using the following formula.

                                                                                                                        Where:
                                                                                                                        days                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              is the numbers of days in the period.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Example: 1 March – 1 May = 92 days in the period
