Commonwealth Repealed Acts

This legislation has been repealed.

WORKPLACE RELATIONS ACT 1996 - SECT 532

             (1)  The regulations may provide that a preserved award term about parental leave is to be treated as being about separate matters to the extent that it is about paid and unpaid parental leave.

             (2)  If the regulations provide that a preserved award term about parental leave is to be treated as being about separate matters to the extent that it is about paid and unpaid parental leave:

                     (a)  sections 527 and 529 have effect in relation to each separate matter; and

                     (b)  in accordance with section 266, the entitlement that an employee would have to unpaid parental leave under the Australian Fair Pay and Conditions Standard is reduced by any amount of paid parental leave to which the employee is entitled under the preserved award term.

Note 1:    There is no entitlement in relation to paid parental leave under the Australian Fair Pay and Conditions Standard, so there is no corresponding matter for the purposes of subsection 529(3).

Note 2:    Paragraph (b) does not have the effect of reducing entitlements. It simply ensures that the operation of section 266 is not affected by treating paid and unpaid parental leave separately under the regulations.
