Australian Government Approves Paid Parental Leave
Posted by admin in Australia, Australia - News on June 17th, 2010
After much debate the Australian Parliament has finally approved a Paid Parental Leave scheme which will see mothers and fathers of new borns enjoying 18 weeks of paid parental leave at the national minimum wage level.
Employers will be liable to pay both the government’s pay under the new scheme as well as any additional entitlements under existing employment or labour contracts.
The scheme will come into force in January 2011.
