Section 71 — Paid Parental Leave Act 2010: Guide to this Part

This Part is about the payment of instalments to a person by the person’s employer. Division 1A sets out when a person has a continuous flexible period. Under Division 2, an employer is required to pay an instalment to a person if: (a) an employer determination has come into force for the employer and the person (see Part 3-5); and (b) the instalment is payable in relation to a flexible PPL day for the child that falls within the person’s continuous flexible period for the child; and (c) the employer has been paid enough by the Secretary to fund the instalment. Division 3 is about the payment by the Secretary of amounts (called PPL funding amounts) to an employer to ensure the employer has been paid enough to fund an instalment. Division 4 sets out certain obligations of employers relating to paying instalments (such as giving and keeping records and notifying the Secretary if certain events happen).
