PARENTAL LEAVE:
A USER – FRIENDLY GUIDE
McCarthy, Jenkin and Stewart
This practical guide to parental leave covers
entitlements and procedures under the Fair Work
Act 2009 and Paid Parental Leave Act 2010.
The relationship between these two pieces of
federal legislation and the rights and obligations
they create are complex. Increasingly as
employees take up the governmental paid
scheme, employers and HR managers will
have to deal with challenging issues such
as employees maintaining contact with the
workplace while on leave and rights to return
to work. This is in addition to the ‘paymaster’
function which became the responsibility of
employers as of 1 July 2011.
Parental Leave: A User-Friendly Guide by Erin
McCarthy, Elise Jenkin and Andrew Stewart of
Piper Alderman follows the course of a parental
leave application. Using a clear layout, bullet
points and case studies, it brings together the
issues that come up under different pieces of
legislation to help IR/HR practitioners and
union/ employer advisors meet the needs of
clients and employees.
