Queensland Numbered Acts Queensland Numbered Acts(1) If a worker performs any cleaning work in a return period, the worker must be credited in the register of workers with 1 day's service for each day in the return period, whether or not the worker performed cleaning work on a particular day.
Examples for subsection (1)--
1 If a return period is 92 days in length and a worker only performs cleaning work on 1 day each week during the 92 day period, the worker must be credited with 92 days service in the register of workers for the return period, even though the worker only performed cleaning work on 13 of the days.
2 If there are 4 return periods during a worker's engagement period, and the worker only performs cleaning work during 3 of the return periods, the worker will be credited with service for the total number of days in each of the 3 return periods during which the worker performed the cleaning work.
(2) However, a worker must not be credited in a return period for a day that is not part of an engagement period for the worker.
Example for subsection (2)--
If a worker ceases work for an employer on a Monday and is not engaged by another employer to perform cleaning work until the following Thursday, the worker will not be credited in the register of workers with service for the intervening Tuesday and Wednesday.
(3) A worker mentioned in section 59(3)(b) must be credited with service as if the worker had performed work in the contract cleaning industry from the day of injury until whichever of the following first happens--
(a) a period of 6 months, after the day of the injury, ends;
(b) the worker engages in employment.
