30 Determining a claim to have different flexible PPL days

(1) For the purposes of subsection 57A(4) of the Act: (a) subsection (2) of this section prescribes the circumstance in which one or more days (the eligible days) specified in a person’s claim for parental leave pay as flexible PPL days for a child may be taken to be one or more other days (the actual days); and (b) subsection (3) of this section prescribes the requirement for determining that the claim is taken to have specified the actual days as flexible PPL days for the child in those circumstances.

Note: The eligible days need not be all of the days specified as flexible PPL days in the person’s claim.

(2) The circumstance is that: (a) the eligible days are at least 5 consecutive week days; and (b) the first of the eligible days is the first week day that occurs on or after the child’s expected date of birth; and (c) the child’s actual date of birth is later found to be different from the child’s expected date of birth.

Note: This subsection can only apply if the claim is made before the child’s birth.

(3) The requirement is that the actual days are to be determined by reference to the actual date of birth rather than the expected date of birth.
