Paid Parental Leave Question - When to claim to minimize tax withheld

[RhiChiChi]

I'd be doing it how BG suggested - use all the government entitlements, some work entitlements and keep any 'extra' work entitlements for future use (ie: LSL).

Im doing the same. Taking a months annual leave, work maternity leave at 1/2 pay then the government PPL so that nothing overlaps. I do have a small period where I wont be paid but I have already saved the $$ to cover mortgage/bills over those weeks.

I have LSL but decided to leave that alone so we can have a family holiday a little later on when bubs is a bit bigger.
