70C: Objections to determination or demand notice

You could also call this:

“How to challenge a parental leave decision made by a Labour Inspector”

You or your employer can disagree with a decision or demand notice given by a Labour Inspector about parental leave. If you want to object, you need to tell the Employment Relations Authority. You have 28 days to do this after you get the decision or demand notice.

If nobody objects within 28 days, or if someone objects but then takes back their objection, the demand notice will have the effects described in section 70D of this law.
