If an employee is already making use of their parental leave prior to the 2nd of August, will their entitlement change, or will alternative arrangements need to be sought after the 2nd of August?

If an employee is benefitting from parental leave prior to the 2nd August 2022, this means that the birth occurred before the 2 August 2022, and thus the 4 months unpaid will apply. New parental leave entitlements will come in effect from births/adoption occurring from the 2nd August 2022.
