As an hourly worker (e.g. part-time employee, temporary, contract or probationary employee), what is my Government-Paid Childcare Leave (GPCL)/Extended Childcare Leave (ECL) entitlement?

As an hourly worker, your GPCL/ECL entitlement is calculated based on the formula below:


For example:

  • A part-time employee works an average of 4 hours a week, and a similar existing full-time employee works an average of 8 hours a day and 44 hours a week.

  • If an employee is entitled to 6 days of Government-Paid Childcare Leave, the entitlement in hours will be: 4/44 x 6 x 8 = 4.4 hours
