Parental Grant. (a) Subject to clauses 4.5.4(b)-(c) below, the parental grant is payable to an employee on production of a birth certificate or evidence of an approved adoption placement. This entitlement is payable if the employee- (i) takes some (or all) primary carer leave (refer the Parental Leave and Employment Protection Act 1987), or (ii) resigns because of pregnancy or adoption, (b) The parental grant is not payable where an employee 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. (c) Only one parental grant is payable per pregnancy and only one parental grant is payable per adoption. The limitation in this clause is intended to limit eligibility to the parental grant to one grant in the following circumstances- (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. (d) The amount of the grant is calculated on the basis of six weeks full salary at the rate that would be applicable, at the date of birth (or placement in the case of adoption), to the position from which the employee was granted leave of absence or resigned as the case may be. However, an employee who works less than full normal hours for a short period only, prior to taking parental leave, may have their case for full payment considered by the employer. When an employee 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.
