Offering extra parental leave pay

Parental leave payments are paid by the government. Some employers provide extra parental leave payments, for example:

top-up payments while you’re getting parental leave payments from Inland Revenue

payments after your Inland Revenue parental leave payments finish

a one-off payment when you return to work or after a specified period of time.

Check your employment agreement or workplace policy to find out if you get extra parental leave pay.
