Section 21 — Paid Parental Leave Act 2010: Limit on number of flexible PPL days for which parental leave pay is payable to more than one person

(1) The Secretary must not make a payability determination that parental leave pay is payable to a person for a flexible PPL day (the relevant day) for a child if: (a) the effect of one or more payability determinations made by the Secretary under section 13 or 14 is that parental leave pay is payable to more than one person for the same flexible PPL day for the child on a total of: (i) if the child is born before 1 July 2025—10 flexible PPL days; or (ii) if the child is born on or after 1 July 2025—20 flexible PPL days; and (b) the effect of a payability determination made by the Secretary under section 13 or 14 is that parental leave pay is payable to another person for the relevant day. (2) However, the PPL rules may prescribe circumstances in which a flexible PPL day does not count towards the total number of flexible PPL days referred to in paragraph (1)(a).
