If a business employs workers for the purpose of doing building and construction work in NSW, this business is legally required to confirm and update its service to ensure benefits paid from the scheme are calculated accurately. This is done by lodging an Annual Employer Return.

An Employer Return is a list of all Workers that the Corporation has recorded being employed by the specific Employer. This list is compiled from the employees’ Start and End Notices lodged during the year. The Employer Return is due for completion and lodgement by 31^st July each year. 

1. From your Internet Brower go to: https://longservice.my.site.com/bci/s/login/?type=Employer
2. Log in using your Employer No and password
   
   è The LSL Corporation Employer Portal
   
   
   
   
3. If you have access to multiple entities, select the correct entity from the Account drop-down box

   è The list of current workers is displayed
   
   
   
5. Make sure all the current workers who work on-site are listed. If any of the current workers are missing from the list, you must first add them as new workers by selecting the [Workers] Tab.
6. You can change the worker's view to view the workers terminated during the Financial Year by selecting the Completed view on the top right-hand side of the screen
7. Review the list of workers and complete the worker's employment information as follows:
   • F/P T (Full-time or Part-time) > This option defaults to the employment basis originally entered in the worker's screen. If the worker's employment basis changed during the Financial Year, update this option accordingly
     Note: the definition of employment basis for Long Service Leave is different from the standard Fair Work definition. Full-time workers include any workers who work 38 hours per week or more, and Part-time workers include any workers who work less than 38 hours per week, regardless of the employment basis set our in the Employment Agreement.
   • Active Full-time workers > No change is required for active Full-time workers;
   • Active Part-time workers > Calculate and type the number of days worked during the Financial Year;
   • Inactive Workers > De-select the Still Employed option, then type the Termination Date in the Period End field. Type the number of days worked prior to the termination date.
8. Select the option Ready to Submit next to each worker

   è A Confirmation Banner is displayed on top of the list of workers
   
   
   
   è The Annual Employer Declaration is submitted
   Note: Unfortunately, there is no option to print a report on the Annual Declaration at this stage. If you would like to get proof of your lodgement, you may take a screenshot of the Portal.
