We may ask you to stop when any of the following applies to your employee:

  • they shorten their block of payment to less than 8 weeks
  • they include a weekend in their block of payment
  • they stop being your employee
  • they get an income support payment from us
  • they are no longer eligible for Parental Leave Pay.
