57A Specification in claim of flexible PPL days for a child etc.
(1) A claim for parental leave pay for one or more flexible PPL days for a child must specify each of those days.
Note: A claim that also specifies one or more days that are not flexible PPL days for the child can still be an effective claim.
(2) A flexible PPL day for the child specified in the claim must not be a day that is more than 42 days before the day the claim is made.
(3) Before a payability determination is made on the claim, the claimant may change a flexible PPL day for the child specified in the claim by notifying the Secretary of the new flexible PPL day for the child.
(4) If:
(a) one or more days were specified in the claim for parental leave pay as flexible PPL days for the child at the time the claim was made; and
(b) the Secretary is satisfied that the circumstances prescribed by the PPL rules apply in relation to the claim;
then, before a payability determination is made on the claim, the Secretary may determine, in accordance with any requirements prescribed by the PPL rules, that the claim is to be taken, for the purposes of making the determination, to have specified one or more other flexible PPL days for the child.
