The Construction Industry Portable Sick Leave (PSL) scheme was developed through the parties to the Victorian Building Industry Agreement (VBIA). Incolink at the request of the parties was established and manages the scheme.

The PSL scheme* has been set up to take over the sick days you would normally lose when you leave or are terminated by your current employer.

How does the Portable Sick Leave Scheme work?
Incolink has purchased an Insurance Policy which will cover any unused sick leave a worker has remaining at the time of termination of employment and where the employer member is paying the PSL contribution to Incolink.

While you are working, your employer is responsible for any personal sick leave you may have accrued under the Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) system, but only to those benefits which relate to personal injury/illness leave of the worker.

On termination of your employment, your employer will send to Incolink the number of sick leave credits you have remaining. It is important that your employer completes the form at the time of termination. If your employer fails to pay PSL premiums, cover will not be provided.

Incolink can not take over any unused sick leave for any period where your employer has not paid and or is not paying the PSL.
