Can I ask my employee to be involved in workplace activities while they are receiving Parental Leave Pay?
You cannot make it a compulsory requirement for your employee to take part in any work activities while they are receiving Parental Leave Pay. If your employee returns to work before they have received all of their Parental Leave Pay, their payment will stop. However, your employee may choose to take part in a work activity for the purposes of ‘keeping in touch’ with the workplace, such as a training day. This must be a voluntary agreement between you and your employee.
