I wish to make just a couple of points. On superannuation: will the business have to pay the superannuation? Thank you for that sign to say no. On holiday leave, the four weeks leave for a full-time employee: when a lady takes the 18 weeks off, will her holidays accumulate during that 18-week period? For example, over a 52-week year, with 18 weeks off you would think she would be eligible for only 34 weeks worth of holidays. Would she be eligible for the whole 12 months worth? In other words, would she accumulate holidays while having that 18 weeks off on paid parental leave?
