This Part   is about the payment of instalments to a person by the Secretary.

The Secretary is required to pay instalments directly to a person if:

  (a)   an employer determination is never made for the person; or

  (b)   the instalment is payable in relation to a day that is a flexible PPL day for a child of the person and that does not fall within the person's continuous flexible period for the child (if any).

The Secretary is also required to pay instalments directly to a person in certain circumstances where an employer determination is being reviewed or has been revoked, or where a matter has been referred to the Fair Work Ombudsman relating to a failure by an employer to pay an instalment to a person.

In certain circumstances where the Secretary becomes required to pay instalments to a person, the Secretary is also required to pay the person arrears for instalments that had previously become payable, but not been paid, to the person.
