When is the deadline for employee notice of intention to take unpaid parental leave?
The catalogue records a 10 weeks period from the day the employee starts any of the leave covered by the notice (counting backwards). This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
Source link required
This page is in preparation. It does not offer an automated deadline or a paid record until the missing source or calculator evidence is complete.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 10 weeks
- Trigger
- the day the employee starts any of the leave covered by the notice (counting backwards)
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- Section 74(2A): if the first or only period of leave covered by the notice is flexible unpaid parental leave under s 72A, the notice may be given at any later time if the employer agrees.
- Added on verification: the researched catalogue captured the employer's 21-day response obligations under ss 65A, 76A and 66AAC but omitted the employee-side parental leave notice periods entirely. Verified against the Fair Work Act 2009 compilation in force 1 July 2026.
