    I think it just means that if you take a long time to sort out the paperwork etc and your place of employment doesnt get any money from Centrelink for like 8 or 9 weeks they dont have to pay you UNTIL they have the actual funds from Centrelink?

    I just don't understand why it even goes through your employer if it's the same $ amount. Why not just have all PPL payments straight from CL? What is the benefit of going through your employer?

    I will call them today!

    I think the point of it going through the employer was to save administration fees for the government. PPL is paid to the employer who then pay it to the employee. I think it's a waste of time and money that way, but that's what the PTB decided to do.

    It can be paid directly in certain circumstances, like bereavement or if you're not returning to work. When were you planning on returning to work? Would it be better for you to quit?
