Employee notice—intention to take cultural parent leave
66A Employee notice—intention to take cultural parent leave
This section applies if an employee wants to take cultural parent leave.
The employee must give the employer—
for long cultural parent leave—written notice of intention to take the leave at least 10 weeks before the expected date when a cultural recognition order will be made transferring a child’s parentage to the employee (the expected parental transfer date); and
at least 4 weeks written notice of the dates on which the employee wants to start and end the leave.
The employee must, before starting the leave, give the employer a statutory declaration by the employee stating—
the employee is an intended cultural parent; and
the expected parental transfer date; and
for long cultural parent leave—
the period of leave sought by the employee; and
the period of any cultural parent leave sought by the employee’s spouse; and
that the employee is seeking the leave because the employee is to be responsible for the care of the child.
