Explainer: What could change in parental leave and what are the current rules?
Negotiations between PS and PSD propose extending 100% paid parental leave to 150 days for all families, with an increase to 180 days (six months) if at least 30 days are shared between both parents. A seven-month option at 90% pay is also proposed, but the bill has not yet been passed or enacted. Currently, parental leave is 120 or 150 days, with 30 additional days available upon shared leave.
Why it mattersIf you are a parent or expecting a child, these potential changes could offer longer fully-paid leave, but nothing has changed yet and the proposal remains subject to the legislative process.
