Parent's Leave and Benefit Bill 2019 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (15 Oct 2019)

Robert Troy: I bring forward this amendment because in the ordinary course, leave legislation provides that employers are not required to make superannuation contributions during an employee's period of leave.

Parent's Leave and Benefit Bill 2019 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (15 Oct 2019)

Robert Troy: There is some agreement in terms of what we are trying to achieve. I apologise for the typographical error in the amendment. Under the rules there is a facility to change that. It should refer to "parent's leave" as opposed to "parental leave" because they derive from two different tranches of legislation. I thank the Minister of State for pointing that out. The Minister of State...
