Thread: 20 year "service award" , coming up.....:)

Well done. I'm into my 23rd year with Airservices this year. We have quite a few blokes with 30 + years and 1 with 40 years.

20 years, well done. Do you get Long Service leave??

You have done well,this sort of thing is getting less & less these days
One of the guys in a Govt. dept we do some work for clocks up 50yrs later this month.

As for the long service .....comes up every 10yrs in most occupations,but was every 15 yrs before i think the year 2000,when the rules were changed.So if you have some due before 2000,there is a formular to use to calculate the yrs of service before long service is due.

Yeah , I picked up 3 months of LSL when I reached my 10 years of service and from there on for every year of service I've accrued 2 weeks.

Not sure about the rule change Scarry , I was told when I started I would recieve 3 months when I hit 10 years of service , but in any case since I started I've only taken one month off

Well done Kos...as previously said, that is a rarity these days....

Would have had 20 years up next year if I had not been made redundant. It is nice to have a secure job and well done, but it can also be shattered in a moment when a company takes a different direction.
Enough of that and again well done, hope they make you feel appreciated.

Yep, a quarter of a century and nothing but a head full of bad memories and a watch ...

When I first started my Employement , I would have never thought that I'd actually be employed in the same company for as long as I have been.

I had just completed my high school certificate and started a TAFE electronic diploma course the following year , a Job opportunity arose and I grabbed it with both hands.

During my traineeship period ,I continued my studies @ TAFE , attended classes for 4 years @ Nights to complete my Diploma course and it all finally eventuated .
I was a qualified technical officer . I can Tell you this does a lot of good for a young bloke's self esteem , straight out of school and not knowing much about life in general.
