Timing of Dad & Partner Pay

[Teeki]

Great news, thank you I've got a question about PPL too - I get 24 weeks paid by my employer, and would prefer PPL start after that. Last time the PPL started after the birth, how do I make sure it starts on the day I want?

when you do your claim, you nominate the start date - as long as it is fully paid before bub turns one and before you return to work, you can nominate any date

Ah ok. I've already done that claim but it wouldn't let me put a date later than edd. Won't really matter, we'll just put it aside until the work one runs out.

you can change it once you get notification of the claim being processed (and on the claim form you submit after the birth from memory)

Brilliant, thanks heaps

Last time I had the PPL start after my employer's leave finished as well. I didn't do it online though I don't think and I just popped the start date on the paperwork. I'll do the same this time.
