Clause 16
Saving and transitional provisions

Section 10 of the principal Act (as amended by section 3) applies in relation to a claim by an employer for reimbursement from the Government under section 10(2A) of the principal Act in respect of any absence from work before the date of commencement of section 3 of a female employee mentioned in section 10(2B)(a) of the principal Act, that is submitted before that date and pending as at that date, or submitted on or after that date, if —
the claim is submitted within 3 months after the last day of the female employee’s absence from work for which she was paid by the employer, or within such extended period of time as a Director may allow in any particular case; and
the female employee’s absence from work that is the subject of the claim ends on or before the last day of the female employee’s 12‑month post‑confinement period defined in section 10(2C) of the principal Act (as inserted by section 3(b)).
(2)
Despite section 6, where an employee satisfies the requirements of section 12D(1)(a) and (b) of the principal Act as in force immediately before the date of commencement of section 6 to be entitled to unpaid infant care leave for a relevant period in respect of a qualifying child, the number of days of unpaid infant care leave that the employee is entitled to for a relevant period is as follows:
in the case of the employee whose first entitlement of unpaid infant care leave under section 12D(2)(b)(i) of the principal Act as in force immediately before the date of commencement of section 6, was for a relevant period that ended before that date (called the first concluded relevant period) but the next succeeding relevant period has not ended as at that date —
6 days for the first concluded relevant period; and
12 days for the next succeeding relevant period that occurs after the first concluded relevant period;
in the case of the employee whose first entitlement of unpaid infant care leave under section 12D(2)(b)(i) of the principal Act as in force immediately before the date of commencement of section 6, is for a relevant period that has not ended as at that date —
12 days for that relevant period; and
12 days for the next succeeding relevant period.

For a period of 2 years after the date of commencement of any provision of this Act, the Minister may, by regulations, prescribe such additional provisions of a saving or transitional nature consequent on the enactment of that provision as the Minister may consider necessary or expedient.
