Worker information

If you've previously started new workers online, you may notice that we're asking for more information about new workers than we did in the past.

This is because we're now doing more eligibility checks when workers are first registered. By doing this early, we can make sure we're not registering workers who are not eligible to claim through QLeave. This means we won't risk paying claims to ineligible workers and will be able to maintain the levy rate, so we can continue supporting the industry by paying long service leave claims well into the future.

1. Go to QLeave online services.
2. Enter your email address and password and click Sign in.
3. If you don’t know your password, click Forgot your password? to reset it. A verification code will be emailed to you. Click here for help resetting your password.



4. Once you've logged in, you'll be taken to the online services home page. From the menu at the top of the page, click Services for Business. If you only want to add one worker at a time, you can do this by selecting Add a new worker from the menu on the right hand side of the page. Click here for instructions on doing this.
   
   

1. Check that you're in the Current workers tab. You will be taken here by default after selecting Services for Business on the home page.
2. Select Start multiple workers.
3. On the next screen, click Download new worker template. This will download a spreadsheet template which you can use to add multiple new workers. Save the spreadsheet to your computer. Please save the spreadsheet with a file extension of .xls or .xlsx to ensure the file can be imported into QLeave online services once you've added details for your workers.

Note: please don't make any changes to the format of the spreadsheet (e.g. deleting or changing the order of columns). If you change the format of the spreadsheet, the file may not be accepted when you import it into online services.

Please note: if you attempt to register a worker via the spreadsheet and two or more contact matches are detected, an error will appear in the errors tab when you click save. This means the worker is already registered with QLeave. If this occurs you will need to contact the worker to obtain their QLeave registration number.

In some columns you will need to select the appropriate option from a drop down list. In these columns, please select from the list instead of entering text to avoid issues when you import the completed spreadsheet.

Columns A-D

• QLeave worker registration number (column A): enter the worker’s QLeave registration number (if known). Leave this field blank if you don’t know their registration number or they’re new to the industry.
• Work classification (column B): select the worker’s work classification. The classifications are available by clicking the down arrow in the cell.
• (Foreperson/Supervisor/Leading hand only) Performs work and supervision (column C): select yes or now to tell us whether the worker performs both building and construction work and supervision.
• Start date (column D): enter the worker’s start date as DD-MM-YYYY.

Please note: Only fill out columns H-J if the worker is a contractor. Leave blank if none of these options apply to you.

Columns K-M

• Employment category (columns K-M): select yes or no to tell us if the worker is engaged by a labour hire agency, performs work for a federal, state or local government, or is engaged in the coal mining industry. If none of these options apply, you can also leave these fields blank.

Columns N-P

• Worker's name (columns N-P): only the worker’s first name and last name are required. Leave the middle name blank if the worker doesn’t have a middle name.

Columns Q-U

• Contact details (columns Q-S): only the email address and mobile number are required. Leave home phone blank if the worker doesn’t have a second contact number.
• Date of birth and gender (columns T-U): Only date of birth is required. Gender can be left blank.

Columns V-AH

• Address (columns V-AA): enter the worker’s street address, suburb, city, state, postcode and country. Selecting the suburb from the drop-down list will automatically fill in the state and postcode cells.
• Postal address (columns AB-AH): if the worker’s postal address is the same as their street address, select yes in column AB and leave the rest of the fields blank. If their postal address is different, select no in column AB and provide their postal address in columns AC-AH.

You can enter details for as many workers as you’d like in this spreadsheet.
