The Paid Parental Leave Act 2010 implements a Government-funded, paid parental leave (PPL) scheme applicable to employees who have or adopt a child. The scheme provides up to 20 weeks’ pay at the National Minimum Wage. Payments of PPL are administered and funded through Services Australia. Employers do not determine whether an employee is eligible for PPL. The PPL scheme does require an employer to forward an employee’s PPL instalments through its payroll if certain criteria are met, but only if funding has been received from Services Australia.
