HR Industry Updates: September 2011: "Understand your obligations
From 1 July 2011, employers now act as “paymasters” whereby the Government provides the employer with funds which are to be distributed to the eligible employee for paid parental leave entitlements.
Employers are required to make paid parental leave payments on each regular payday for that employee if they are paid on a monthly basis. For employees who would not normally receive monthly pay, employers must make fortnightly payments. Employers are required to withhold PAYG tax from each payment.
Note: There is no provision for superannuation in the legislation and employers are not expected to make contributions to their employee’s superannuation fund."
