94ZX  Variation of period of long adoption leave

 (1) This section applies after an employee has started a continuous period of leave including (or constituted by) long adoption leave.

 (2) Subject to Subdivision H and sections 94ZU, 94ZV and 94ZW:
 (a) the employee may extend the period of long adoption leave once by giving his or her employer 14 days written notice before the end of the period stating the period by which the leave is extended; and
 (b) the period of long adoption leave may be further extended by agreement between the employee and his or her employer.

 (3) The period of long adoption leave may be shortened by written agreement between the employee and his or her employer.

Note: However, if the period of leave including (or constituted by) long adoption leave is longer than 4 weeks, to take advantage of the return to work guarantee under section 94ZZ, the employee must also give his or her employer at least 4 weeks written notice of the proposed day for his or her return to work.
