Frequently asked questions
Have questions? We are here to help.
Parental leave is dependent on how long the employee has worked for you and whether their partner is also taking parental leave from their employer.
If the employee has been with you for at least 12 months at the expected date of birth of the baby, they are untitled to take up to 12 months off on unpaid parental leave. If their partner is also taking parental leave, up to 20 days can be taken at the same time. This is known as ‘concurrent leave’.
The employee can apply to the Department of Human Services (Centrelink) for payments during this time. If they would like, you can also pay their accrued annual leave to cover some of the leave period. Note: sick and carers leave cannot be paid during this time.
If you are a Business Solutions Hub Subscriber, more detailed information can be found in our Parental Leave Fact Sheet. Note: you need to be logged into the Portal of Knowledge to access this resource.
