What is Parental Leave?
As an employer, you don't pay for Australia's Paid Parental Leave scheme. The government supports eligible employees financially through Centrelink payments for up to 18 weeks. You process these payments on your usual pay cycle and don't need to contribute extra superannuation or payroll tax. Remember, you can't pay it in advance or split it. This program helps retain skilled staff by allowing parents to take time off while staying connected to work.
