94ZF  Variation of period of long paternity leave

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

 (2) Subject to Subdivision E and sections 94ZB, 94ZD and 94ZE:
 (a) the employee may extend the period of long paternity leave once by giving his 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 paternity leave may be further extended by agreement between the employee and his employer.

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

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