Paid Parental Leave Act 2010

If, under section 286, a notice making a PPL requirement of a person is given to the person’s correspondence nominee, the following paragraphs have effect:

for the purposes of this Act, other than this Part, the notice is taken:

to have been given to the person; and

to have been so given on the day on which the notice was given to the correspondence nominee;

any PPL requirement made of the person may be satisfied by the correspondence nominee;

any act done by the correspondence nominee for the purposes of satisfying a PPL requirement of the notice has effect, for the purposes of this Act, as if it had been done by the person;

if the correspondence nominee fails to satisfy a PPL requirement of the notice, the person is taken, for the purposes of this Act, to have failed to comply with the PPL requirement.

To avoid doubt, for the purposes of this Act, the person is taken to have complied with a PPL requirement if:

the PPL requirement imposes an obligation on the person to inform the Secretary of a matter, or give the Secretary a statement, within a specified period; and

the correspondence nominee informs the Secretary of the matter, or gives the Secretary the statement (as the case may be) within that period.

To avoid doubt, for the purposes of this Act, the person is taken to have complied with a PPL requirement if:

the PPL requirement imposes an obligation on the person to give information, or produce a document, to an officer within a specified period; and

the correspondence nominee gives the information, or produces the document (as the case may be) to the officer within that period.

To avoid doubt, for the purposes of this Act, the person is taken not to have complied with a PPL requirement if:

the PPL requirement imposes an obligation on the person to inform the Secretary of a matter, or give the Secretary a statement, within a specified period; and

the correspondence nominee does not inform the Secretary of the matter, or give the Secretary the statement (as the case may be) within that period.

To avoid doubt, for the purposes of this Act, the person is taken not to have complied with a PPL requirement if:

the PPL requirement imposes an obligation on the person to give information, or produce a document, to an officer within a specified period; and

the correspondence nominee does not give the information, or produce the document (as the case may be) to the officer within that period.

A PPL requirement is a requirement, made by the Secretary under this Act, to:

inform the Secretary of a matter; or

give information, or produce a document, to an officer; or

give a statement to the Secretary.
