All full time employees are entitled to up to 12 months maternity leave (regardless of length of service). This is made up of 6 months of Ordinary Maternity Leave and 6 months Additional Maternity Leave.
You don’t need to take the full 12 months leave, however you should give at least 8 weeks’ notice of your intention to return.
Entitlement to Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) is dependent on your length of service and earning at least the lower earnings limit for National Insurance. You may be able to get Maternity Allowance if you don’t qualify for SMP. Your contract may also provide for enhanced maternity pay, meaning you could be entitled to more than SMP.
In order to qualify for paternity leave an employee must satisfy the following:
Employees who are eligible for paternity leave can take either one or two consecutive weeks leave at any time in the baby’s first 8 weeks.
During paternity leave, employees are entitled to Statutory Paternity Pay (SPP) from their employer. The rate of SPP is the same as the standard rate of SMP.
