Hi there
In this week’s podcast episode, we continue our series, looking in detail at the different types of paid and unpaid leave that you may be entitled to receive at work. In episode 36 of the podcast, we looked at Unpaid Parental Leave. In this week’s episode of the podcast, we’re going to look at Shared Parental Leave, which is a different type of leave altogether, and is form of paid leave that is in place for parents who want to take time off after their baby is born or after your adopted child comes to live with you.
The leave must be taken in the first year of your child’s life or after your adopted child is placed with you. If you or your partner apply for Shared Parental Leave you may also be able to claim Shared Parental Pay and if you qualify for both elements, that’s the leave and the pay - you and your partner could share up to 50 weeks of leave and up to 37 weeks of pay between you.
We hope you find something useful that you can work with in this week’s episode. Remember to let others know we are here, by sharing our content and leaving us a review about the podcast on iTunes or anywhere else where you’re listening and where you can leave a review. We’d love you to shre your views with us.
Thanks for listening
See you next week
Bye for now.
