Cessation Application

A Cessation Application must be submitted for an eligible employee requesting their entitlement, who is ceasing to be an eligible employee.

The form has 3 sections that must be completed by your employee and a section that must be completed by an authorised contact of your organisation.

MEANING OF CESSATION

For the purposes of this document, cessation means ceasing to be an eligible employee. Instances where an employee may cease to be eligible can include:

• leaving the Australian black coal mining industry
• retirement
• redundancy/resignation/end of contract
• death
• changing positions into a role which does not fit the definition of an eligible employee.

Please check that your employee has included their correct personal details.

Please ensure your employee has:

• Selected total hours or specific hours paid (and have entered the amount of hours if specific hours has been selected)
• Entered the cessation date, which must match your records
• Selected a cessation code that most accurately describes the reason they are ceasing to be an eligible employee. Note: the cessation code must match what was submitted on the Levy Advice form
• Signed and dated the form

This section must be completed by an authorised contact of your organisation.

Confirmation document

A confirmation document will be available to download from the Correspondence section of Online Services once the application has been approved by Coal LSL.

Retain this document because the information will be required to submit a Claim for Reimbursement.
