Meeting the work test

To get Parental Leave Pay you need to meet a work test.

A work day needs to meet certain criteria to count in the work test.

You may still meet the work test if you’re self employed.

Some activities won’t count as part of the work test.

If you have pregnancy related complications, a premature birth or stopped work due to a dangerous job, exceptions may apply.

You can meet the Parental Leave Pay work test in a range of circumstances.
