How lucky Aussies to be paid for parental leave

When will this policy happen in Indonesia? It might never happen (sigh)


Something really exciting and significant happened this week – the Parliament passed the Government's Paid Parental Leave scheme.From 1 January next year parents will receive paid parental leave – our first national scheme, and a new entitlement for working parents.The scheme means that new parents will be able to access 18 weeks of government-funded parental leave pay at the National Minimum Wage ($570 per week).It will apply for all eligible parents of children born or adopted on or after 1 January 2011.  Parents will need to meet a simple work and income test to be eligible.We think this scheme has got the balance right – by providing this important new entitlement for Australian families, without imposing a burden on employers.For more info, this is a good site to visit: http://www.familyassist.gov.au/news-and-updates/paid-parental-leave-scheme.html
