If my employer allows me to take my long service leave as a cash payment, do I get the super for this leave. Remembering that I still work for this employer and have not terminated my employment, i'm only getting a cash payment rather than taking the leave. Do I also get a lump sum cash payment into my super?
Hiya @lukelukeluk1985 👋
Yes, cashout of leave in service is superable, unlike unused leave on termination that is not superable. As per ATO SGR 2009/2 P36.
I assume you are in one of the state/territories that permits LSL to be cashed out? Not all state/territories do (such as NSW)

Yes I'm in good old Adelaide :)
Thanks for the response.
