When is the deadline for employer written response to a request to extend unpaid parental leave?
The catalogue records a 21 days period from the day the employee makes the request under s 76(1). 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
- 21 days
- Trigger
- the day the employee makes the request under s 76(1)
- 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.
- None. Section 76B(1)(b) allows a dispute to be referred to the FWC where 21 days have passed without a written response.
- Section 76(7) caps any extension: the employee cannot extend unpaid parental leave beyond 24 months after the date of birth or day of placement of the child.
