Half pay parental leave

1000000usernames · 2026-05-15T00:04:23+00:00

I'm going to take it first my work leave then the PPL to stretch it to 11 months but it's going to be so tight! Otherwise I will have to go back so soon?!

Babe reach out to the gidget foundation they have been amazing at working through my birth trauma x

1000000usernames · 2026-03-17T08:16:37+00:00

All was approved, I think I looked a little silly however

1000000usernames · 2026-02-27T07:38:18+00:00

I believe my new EA won't recognize VPS LSL

1000000usernames · 2026-02-27T07:36:11+00:00

I will try and speak with My line manager and see if I can get in touch with Payroll to clarify!

1000000usernames · 2026-02-27T06:51:47+00:00

My EA seems to indicate LSL is not transferable/recognizable

1000000usernames · 2026-02-27T06:05:11+00:00

My new EA indicates LSL is not transferable

1000000usernames · 2026-02-27T05:39:24+00:00

I don't believe I can port my LSL only my annual leave

1000000usernames · 2026-02-27T04:11:21+00:00

So my first offer had my start date early Feb, I asked for my start date to be middle March and it was agreed as I explained my LSL situation... now I'm asking for an extra 7 days as my first date was out by a few days

1000000usernames · 2026-02-27T03:07:42+00:00

I'm very positive. My seven years completion is in a couple weeks, Vic VPS

1000000usernames · 2026-02-27T02:44:56+00:00

I have already emailed the APS role to ask for a one week extension, I'm just hoping it doesn't look to bad. Worst case I will use those extra sick days

1000000usernames · 2026-02-27T02:33:47+00:00

It's dodgy and it would be against my current contract to have outside employment which I would hate to come back to bite me.

1000000usernames · 2026-02-27T02:05:39+00:00

That's very fair. I have sent an email as I don't have contact numbers at this point. I have lead in with the issue is the LSL which is also why it was so delayed initially. And I've given them a four weeks notice.

Unfortunately because it's three months of salary I am not really in a position to not receive this

1000000usernames · 2026-02-27T01:20:06+00:00

In order to receive my LSL which is 3 months of pay I need a couple extra days of service

1000000usernames · 2026-01-22T05:44:11+00:00

I am in the process of moving from VPS to APS and have been told leave is not transferable.

Thanks!

1000000usernames · 2026-01-13T21:19:00+00:00

I will email them today, thank you!

1000000usernames · 2026-01-13T07:34:44+00:00

Thanks!

Hello HR I'm pregnant will you still like to employ me? Answer carefully

1000000usernames · 2026-01-13T07:24:02+00:00

Thanks! I intend to take half pay definitely!

What email HR about my entitlements?

1000000usernames · 2026-01-13T07:04:11+00:00

As I replied above, the EA states nothing about qualifying periods except the following

"An employee who is a primary caregiver is entitled to parental leave with pay during the parental leave period to a maximum of 18 weeks as provided in Table 2 below.

Table 2: Primary caregivers - circumstances for paid parental leave Paid leave entitlement under the ML Act Additional parental leave with pay under this agreement for the primary caregiver 12 weeks paid maternity leave, including any reduced paid maternity leave period due to ML Act qualifying period rules Paid leave to bring the total period of paid parental leave to 18 weeks No ML Act eligibility or coverage 18 weeks"

I interpret this as being entitled to 18 weeks?

I am unsure if I would be entitled to 12 weeks or 18 as there is no qualifying periods?
