Early return to work while on parental leave
During uncertain times, employees who are on parental leave may face financial difficulty and want to return to work earlier than planned.
In response, employers need to act in good faith and be as flexible as possible, to make sure that an employee’s early return benefits both parties. While an employee is on parental leave and may be receiving parental leave payments, it is important to specify whether the employee’s return to work is temporary or permanent.
