Section 13 is primarily concerned with employment rights and provides an amendment to the 1994 Act to provide that employees absent from work on additional maternity leave will be treated for the purposes of all employment rights, other than remuneration and superannuation benefits, as if they remained at work. This provision also applies to employees absent from work for the purposes of attending ante-natal classes or breastfeeding in accordance with this Bill. In effect, this means that time spent on such leave will be counted as service for the purposes of calculating increments, annual leave and seniority.
