Transferring payments after they’ve started

If payments are transferred after the payment period starts, they cannot be transferred back.

If a partner needs to return to work early, the parental leave payments will end. Any further parental leave payments will be lost.

Jess and Ally are having a baby. They decide that Jess will take annual holidays to give birth to the baby and transfer all her parental leave payments to Ally. Ally stops work and starts receiving payments the day their baby is born. 2 weeks later, she is asked to go back to work early to help with a big project. Jess is still on annual leave. Before Ally returns to work, she can transfer the remaining 24 weeks back to Jess because:

Jess’ payments have not started, and

Ally has not returned to work yet.

Jess cannot transfer the payments back to Ally because they can only have 1 period of payments each. Jess’s payments will end after 24 weeks or when she returns to work — whichever is earliest.
