An eligible employee with responsibility for the care of a child born to the employee or spouse or placed for adoption is entitled to 12 months of unpaid parental leave, taken in a single continuous period (birth-related leave may start up to 6 weeks before the expected birth, or earlier by agreement, and must end within 24 months of the birth or placement), plus up to 100 days of flexible unpaid parental leave (or a higher prescribed number) taken as single or separate days within 24 months of birth or placement, or from 6 weeks before the expected birth, available in full to part-time and casual employees and coming out of the 12 months. The employer may, where a pregnant employee continues working in the 6 weeks before birth, request a medical certificate and in the stated cases require unpaid parental leave (s 73). Notice is given 10 weeks ahead where practicable, with confirmation 4 weeks before (s 74). Keeping in touch days (up to 10, by consent, not within 14 or 42 days of birth) and a permitted work period while a child is hospitalised may be agreed without pressure (ss 78A, 79A).
