4.3.8.40 Effect of revocation of employer determination for PLP

Introduction

Centrelink may be required to take on payment of instalments to a person, despite an employer determination having come into force, if:

  • the employer determination has been revoked, or
  • Centrelink has referred a matter to the FWO relating to a failure by the employer to pay an instalment as required.

In the above circumstances, Centrelink is required to pay instalments in relation to a child of the person under PPLAct subsections 84(4) and (5) respectively.

The instalment period for the last instalment payable by the employer ends on the day before the transfer day (1.1.T.90) and the instalment period for the first instalment payable by Centrelink starts on the transfer day. This does not affect when the instalment period ends.

Act reference: PPLAct section 84 When the Secretary pays instalments, section 94 Effect on instalment periods of revocation etc.
