Parental payment. 5.6.1.The parties have agreed to introduce a parental payment from the date that this Settlement Agreement comes into effect for employees who return to work for six months following a period of primary carer leave (as defined in section 2 of the Parental Leave and Employment Protection Act 1987). The terms of the parental payment will be as follows: Where an employee, who takes primary carer leave (as defined in section 2 of the Parental Leave and Employment Protection Act 1987) after the Settlement Agreement comes into effect], returns to duty before or at the expiration of their parental leave and completes a further 6 months service, they qualify for a payment equivalent to 6 weeks’ pay, at the rate applying for the 6 weeks immediately prior to the commencement of parental leave. Provided that, if both parents are employed in the school, or the employee’s partner is employed in the Education Service or Public Service, and are both eligible for payment, then they are entitled to 1 and only 1 payment, and they may choose (after they have qualified) who will receive it. Any adjustments to the salary scale that are backdated into the period covered will apply. An employee who is absent on parental leave for less than 6 weeks will have their payment prorated based on the period of absence on parental leave. Any payment is to be based on the percentage rate of employment prior to absence on parental leave. However, an employee who works less than their normal hours for a short period only, prior to their commencing parental leave, may have their case for full payment considered by the employer.
