Parental Grant. (a) The parental grant is payable to a principal on production of a birth certificate or evidence of an approved adoption placement. This entitlement is payable if the principal qualifies for primary carer leave (refer the Parental Leave and Employment Protection Act 1987) or resigns because of pregnancy or adoption, except as follows: the parental grant is not payable where a principal has not produced a medical certificate confirming pregnancy, or confirmation from the relevant government department of suitability as an adoptive parent, before commencing leave or resigning. No provision is made for payment of a parental grant in the case of a miscarriage.
(b) The amount of the grant is calculated on the basis of six weeks full salary at the rate applicable, at the date of birth (or placement in the case of adoption), to the position from which the principal was granted leave of absence or resigned as the case may be. However, a principal who works less than full normal hours for a short period only, prior to taking primary carer leave, may have their case for full payment considered by the employer. When a principal is absent on primary carer leave for less than six weeks (30 working days), the full grant equivalent to six weeks salary is still payable. The parental grant is not reduced because salary is being received.
Parental Grant. (a) If an employee takes, or is eligible to take primary carer and/or extended leave, they will be paid a lump sum parental grant when they produce a birth certificate or adoption papers. The grant is six weeks’ pay at the full salary rate that applied on the day before their leave began. If they worked less than full normal hours for a short time before taking leave, the employer may still give full payment.
(b) If an employee takes primary carer or extended leave for less than six weeks (30 working days), the full grant equivalent to six weeks’ salary is still payable. The parental grant is not reduced because salary is received.
(c) If both the employee and their partner are employed in the Public Service or Education Service and are eligible for a parental grant, then they are entitled to only one payment between them, and they may choose who will receive it.
(d) There is no entitlement to a parental grant in the case of miscarriage.
Parental Grant. A principal who takes parental leave in order to be the primary carer or resigns due to pregnancy is entitled to a payment equal to 6 weeks' salary, calculated at the rate applicable in the principal's last working week prior to the commencement of their primary carer leave or date of resignation. However, a principal who works less than full normal hours for a short period only, prior to taking primary carer leave, may have their case for full payment considered by the employer. The payment is not pro-rated if the principal takes less than 6 weeks' leave. The grant is payable following production of a birth certificate or suitable evidence of placement. Primary carer means: The biological mother of the child, or their spouse or partner, where they take primary responsibility for the care, development, and upbringing of the child during the first six weeks of parental leave. In the case of adoption, whāngai or Home for Life placement, the person who takes permanent primary responsibility for the care development and upbringing of the child.

(i) in cases of multiple births, or
(ii) in cases where multiple children are adopted by the same primary carer simultaneously, or
(iii) in cases where two teachers meet the requirements of paragraph (a) above because they are sharing primary carer leave, or
(iv) in cases where a teacher has succeeded to part of another teacher’s entitlement to a parental leave payment and has accordingly become the primary carer (see Parental Leave and Employment Protection Act 1987, section 7), or
(v) in cases where a teacher has become the primary carer under s 7(b)(iii) of the Parental Leave and Employment Protection Act 1987 to the exclusion of the biological mother who is also a teacher.
