paid parental leave
Paid parental leave is a government-provided scheme for employees who take leave for childbirth or adoption. Eligible employees can receive payments either directly from the Australian Government or through their employer.
Paid parental leave is designed to support employees financially during the time they are away from work for the birth or adoption of a child. This scheme ensures that employees can take time off during these significant life events without losing all of their income. Depending on the specific rules and eligibility criteria, the leave payment can be provided by the Australian Government or the employer, offering financial support during this period.
