30Y Effect on adoption leave if employee ceases to be the primary care-giver
(1) This regulation applies if:
(a) during a substantial period beginning on or after the beginning of an employee’s Division 2 long adoption leave, the employee is not the child’s primary care-giver; and
(b) having regard to the length of that period and to any other relevant circumstances, it is reasonable to expect that the employee will not again become the child’s primary care‑giver within a reasonable period.
(2) The employer may notify the employee in writing that the employee must return to work on a specified day that is not less than 4 weeks after the notice is given.
(3) If the employee returns to work, the employer must cancel the rest of the adoption leave.
