To be part of the Paid Parental Leave scheme, you need to register your business with us. You can opt in to provide Parental Leave Pay for employees you’re not required to during the PPL Services registration. If you want to do this, you need to opt in before they submit their claim.
If you manage the payroll for businesses with different Australian Business Numbers (ABN), you must register each business separately.
Steps to prepare
- Register for the Paid Parental Leave scheme through our Business Hub.
- Know your employee’s rights and talk to them about Parental Leave Pay.
- If your employee makes a claim with us, we’ll contact you.
