A season preset in a two-parent household now means both parents, not
either one — being off together is the point of the period.
Within such a period the planner used to pick whoever had the most
parental-benefit days left, date by date, so spending kept moving the
lead and the funding flipped almost daily. Six weeks came out as a
patchwork that costs nothing to hold but a great deal to request. The
payer is now chosen once per half of the window, reusing the same split
the swap strategy already uses: one parent on parental benefit while the
other takes vacation, then they change over. Both are still off every
day, and if one runs out mid-stretch the roles swap for the rest rather
than day by day.
