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.

How to terminate a worker

Before you can terminate a worker in the current financial year, you must submit your most recent annual worker service return first. If your return hasn't been submitted, the option to terminate a worker will be disabled.

If the worker finished working for you in the last financial year (before 30 June), you can terminate them while completing your worker service return. Click here for more information about completing the worker service return.

Please note: If you attempt to register a worker and two or more contact matches are detected, an error message will appear when you click 'save'. If this occurs you will need to contact the worker to obtain their QLeave registration ID.
