Paid parental leave applications online

Now’s the time to let staff know applying for paid parental leave just got easier.


Mother-and-daughter---love-and-happiness-641835540 6720x4480As of March 2021, your staff can apply for paid parental leave via myIR on the Inland Revenue website.

The site can now pre-populate information it already holds for customers, such as contact details, name of employer(s), and an estimate of average weekly income for employees, making the process much quicker.

Find out more about New Zealand's paid parental leave scheme at https://www.employment.govt.nz/leave-and-holidays/parental-leave/ or call Alliotts in Auckland on 09 520 9200.
