What if I’m not eligible or entitled to payments?

Inland Revenue assess applications for parental leave payments.

If Inland Revenue find that you do not meet the requirements for parental leave payments and you’ve got questions about your application or why it was declined, contact Inland Revenue.

If you do not agree with or are unhappy with Inland Revenue’s decision, you can apply to the Employment Relations Authority (ERA) to review it. You must apply for a review within 12 months of the date you received Inland Revenue’s decision.
