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.
