3.5 Service credit—community sector industry— s 64
(1) A registered worker for the community sector industry is to be credited in the workers register with 1 day of service for each day (including a day when the worker does not carry out community sector industry work) in each service period of the worker on or after the worker's registration day.
Example
A day when a worker attends a court in accordance with a summons to serve as a juror or a subpoena to give evidence or produce documents is a day in the service period for the worker when the worker does not carry out cleaning work.
Note 1 Prior service is also credited in the workers register in accordance with, for employees, s 47, and for contractors, s 48.
Note 2 An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act
, s 126 and s 132).
(2) However, the registrar must not enter more than 365 days of service in the workers register for the worker for the financial year.
3.5A Service period —community sector industry
(1) A service period for a person who is a registered worker for the community sector industry is a continuous period—
(a) beginning on the day when the person becomes a worker for the industry; and
(b) ending on the day when the person stops being a worker for the industry.
(2) For subsection (1), a person stops being an employee for an employer for the industry at the end of a quarter if—
(a) if the employee was an employee of only 1 employer for the industry in the quarter—the employer's return under section 49 for the following quarter shows no ordinary remuneration for the employee; or
(b) if the employee was an employee of 2 or more employers for the industry in the quarter—none of the employers' returns under section 49 for the following quarter shows ordinary remuneration for the employee.
(3) Despite subsection (1), a registered worker's service period is not taken to end if a person stops being a worker because—
(a) of incapacity for an injury for which the worker is entitled to compensation under the Workers Compensation Act 1951
; or
(b) if the worker is an employee—the employee has been dismissed by an employer to ensure that the employee does not take long service leave while in the employer's employment; or
