Hi HR Professional,
In Hong Kong, Female employee will eligible for PAID maternity leave.
Male Employee will eligible for PAID Paternity leave.
But when I read the NES, it looks like in Australia, all the above leaves are put under the "Parental Leave"
Staff only can applied after they work for the company at least 12 months.
My questions are :
Q1. Parental Leave are applied to both Female and Male Employees ?
Q2. Parental leave can apply up to 12 Months with NO PAY, and employee with right to request an additional 12 Months unpaid leave, i.e total maximum 24 months NO PAY
Q3. NO salary is required to pay to the Employees during the duration of Parental Leave.
Q4. When can the Female Preganat Employee allow to start the unpaid Parental leave ? 10 weeks before her expected date of confinement ??
Q5. When can the Male Employee allow to start his unpaid Parental Leave if his wife are ready to delivery the baby ?
Sorry for long mails.
Please share your experience to me, Thanks
