Question re paid parental leave

[briggsy's girl]

with the 10 out of 13 months criteria, you also can't have more than 8 weeks between work days - so even if you're back at work 10 months (August to June for instance) because there is more than 8 weeks before that (the first 12 weeks) where there was no work, you wouldn't qualify

When I looked into this (desperately trying to qualify!) I was also told that any employer paid maternity leave would count towards the 10 months of work required as long as it wasn't 8 weeks between the paid period and returning to work.

yeah it has to be paid service, and there still can't be more than 8 weeks between days worked
