Bryan Crumpler Sep 14, 2010:
Note: "seniority leave" is fine without "allowance". I just think Kate's explanation was slightly misconstrued. Were it to be construed as granting someone leave as a function of age, it seems more likely than not that it would violate anti-discrimination laws. They definitely would in the US, and I assume they would in Belgium and the Netherlands also. See: Europese Commissie Richtlijn 2000/78/EC

NB: Forgot to mention why I thought "allowance" should be scrapped. "Allowance" tagged on the end gives me the impression some type of monetary payment is involved.

LENGTH OF SERVICE

The period of time for which an employee has been under a contract of employment with the same employer. Also referred to as "diensttijd/temps de service". Periods during which performance of the contract of employment is suspended are counted towards it. It must be an uninterrupted period of employment.

Length of service plays an important part in the calculation of the period of notice and compensation in lieu of notice for white-collar workers.

@ Bryan
It depends on the company - sometimes it's years of employment with the company, other times (as with Dutch universities) it's based on the person's age.
Peer comment(s):

neutral writeaway : it's a Belgian doc (I asked)-so Bryan is right.

Thanks, P.
neutral Bryan Crumpler : Sounds illegal. Should be a function of the number of years of employment with the organisation, not of the employee's age.

Long service leave

In Australia, unlike many other countries, employees are generally entitled to additional leave, known as long service leave, over and above their annual leave if they stay with a particular employer for a certain length of time. A common entitlement in Australia is that employees who remain with a particular employer for 10 years will receive an entitlement of eight and two-thirds weeks' (two calendar months) paid leave and more on a pro-rata basis the longer they stay with that employer. This amount was originally 13 weeks (three months) after 15 years in most states until recent years. In Australian Capital Territory, Australia, an employee is entitled to pro-rata long service leave after seven years.
Example sentence:

Long service leave is an additional employee vacation payable after long periods of service with an employer in Australia and New Zealand.

agree Chris Hopley : this is exactly what is meant IMO - e.g. http://www.acv-vervoer-antw.be/downloads/ancienniteitsverlof...
