Your Dad and Partner Pay period can be up to 2 weeks. You must nominate a start date for your Dad and Partner Pay. Your Dad and Partner Pay period is the time you take off work and receive Dad and Partner Pay.
During your Dad and Partner Pay period, you must be both:
- not working, except for allowable reasons
- not taking paid leave.
When you will be paid depends on the start date you nominate and when your claim is finalized. Your start date isn’t the date you’ll get your first payment.
The ability to take a person’s wages or income depends on the specific laws and regulations of the jurisdiction in question. In most countries, including the United States, the process of taking someone’s wages or income typically occurs through a legal procedure known as wage garnishment.
You nominate a start date for your Dad and Partner Pay in your claim. Your start date can be either:
- the day of your child’s birth or adoption
- another date, no more than 52 weeks after your child’s birth or adoption.
To get the full 2 weeks of payment, your start date must be within 50 weeks of either:
- your child’s birth
- the date your child came into your care as part of an adoption.
