64: Duty to promote settlement

You could also call this:

“Help solve parental leave problems peacefully”

You have a duty to help settle a parental leave complaint. This means you need to do two things. First, you should try to resolve the complaint using the steps described in sections 57 to 67 of the law. Second, you should not do anything that might make it harder for these steps to work properly. These rules apply to everyone involved in a parental leave complaint.
