70E: Authority to determine entitlement to parental leave on objection

You could also call this:

“The Employment Relations Authority can decide if you should get parental leave when you disagree with a decision”

If you disagree with a decision about your parental leave, you can object to it. When this happens, the Employment Relations Authority steps in to help. Their job is to look at your case and decide if you should get the parental leave that was mentioned in the original decision or notice. They will check if you are actually entitled to that leave or not. This is how they make sure the right decision is made about your parental leave when there’s a disagreement.
