Will I qualify for SPL if I've worked at my company for less than 3 continuous months before and on my child's date of birth (DOB) or Formal Intent to Adopt (FIA) date?

Updated by MSF

If you did not work with your employer for at least 3 continuous months before your child's date of birth (DOB) or Formal Intent to Adopt (FIA) date, the Government may reimburse your employer for Shared Parental Leave (SPL) if: 

  • You have served your employer at the point of your child's DOB or FIA date; and

  • Your employer is willing to grant SPL to you; and

  • You have not claimed for SPL in respect of the same child order.
