DA 3

The DA or CDC requirement to pay the Long Service Leave Levy as required by the  Building and Construction Industry Long Service Payments Act 1986 has been around for a long time.

In the construction industry of the early 1970's, as a  trades person was employed for  3 months or for the duration of a contract, there was  no chance of accruing long service entitlement of ten years and therefore no long service payout. The above legislation was introduced and amended.!

Initially employers were required to contribute for their employees to the Long Service Payments Corporation > Long Service Corporation [ the body that governs the scheme].  The government eventually decided developers were to contribute to the scheme with the result being by law, it's a DA or CDC requirement.
