EMPLOYERS are being warned not to use the January 1 introduction of the government's paid parental leave as an excuse to water down existing maternity entitlements to save money.

A survey of 1860 organisations monitored by the government's Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency found that more than one in 10 were planning to change their existing maternity leave provisions as a result of the government's decision to introduce a taxpayer-funded scheme.

The finding has raised concerns that some companies could use the scheme, which will cost the budget about $260 million a year, as an excuse to wind back spending to support working mothers.

The survey, taken last financial year, found that 11 per cent of organisations intend to make changes in response to the government scheme. A further 62 per cent told the agency they did not know if they would change existing entitlements. Only 27 per cent said they would definitely leave existing provisions intact to complement the government scheme.
