I have dealt with this exact issue several times, each time, the employee has advised centrelink that they are not returning and received the amount directly...........its a **bleep**show of a system but not my circus................
but to answer the other part of your question, they normally do not accrue sick/annual leave on govt funded parental leave, only employer funded parental leave. As for Super on PPL the govt announced it would be paying super on govt funded paid parental leave, so one would assume business will have to for business funded leave. However, not sure how this equates to the process of the govt refunding the business. If the process is business pays to fund, govt refunds business, or govt pays direct to fund........................pretty sure if you call the PPL phone help line you will get a different answer each time.....................good luck
