Common use of Parental Grant Clause in Contracts

Parental Grant. a. Where a permanent employee or long-term reliever takes primary carer leave under the PLEPA, and subsequently returns to work in a permanent or long-term relieving position in the Association that granted the leave, for a period of at least six weeks before or upon the expiry of their parental leave, that employee shall be paid at that time a parental grant as specified in 4.5.2.b. An employer may agree to pay the grant on departure for the leave or prior to return. b. The amount of the grant is calculated on the basis of six weeks’ full salary at the rate applicable to the employee in their last working week prior to the commencement of their parental leave. However, an employee who works less than full normal hours for a short period only, prior to taking leave, may have their case for full payment considered by the employer. When an employee is absent on 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.
