Special Paid Parental or Partners Leave. In the event that the employee or their partner experiences stillbirth of a child(xxx) after 20 weeks gestation or infant death during the period of parental leave, CCS is committed to supporting its employees through these tragic circumstances. In these instances and where the employee meets the eligibility criteria set out in Clause 24.8.1, CCS will support the employee by offering 1 week of Special Paid Parental Leave. This is in addition to any Australian Government provision that the employee may also be entitled to access. Should a pregnancy loss occur prior to 20 weeks gestation, the employee may access sick leave or carer’s leave, whichever is applicable.
