正文(英文) | New online tool to help working families make the most of shared parental leaveThe new tool will help expectant parents share time off in the early stages of their baby’s life, allowing them to check eligibility and pay entitlement with the Shared Parental Leave and Pay scheme.
A new online tool will help expectant parents share time off in the key, early stages of their baby’s life. Launched today, the new tool will make it easier for expectant parents to access and understand Shared Parental Leave and Pay. Parents will be able to check their eligibility for the scheme, calculate their pay entitlement, as well as downloading all the documents they need to secure leave from their employer. Shared Parental Leave and Pay allows working parents across Great Britain to share up to 50 weeks of leave and up to 37 weeks of pay in the first year of their child’s life (or within a year of placement if the child is adopted). Government research has found that nearly all parents who used Shared Parental Leave would recommend it – and the new tool will ensure more families can make the most of the scheme to spend time with their new-borns. Labour Markets Minister Paul Scully said:
Shared leave and pay gives working families much more choice and flexibility about who cares for their child in the first year, and when. The scheme helps working women exercise more choice about when to go back to work, while also encouraging and supporting dads and partners to take a greater role in their child’s care if they wish. By supporting parents who want to share childcare responsibilities, shared leave will help the UK build back fairer, with a more flexible working environment that helps everyone access workplace opportunities. Jane Gratton, Head of People Policy at the BCC, said:
Jennifer Liston-Smith, Head of Thought Leadership at Bright Horizons, said:
Simon Kelleher, Head of Policy at Working Families, said:
Notes to editorsParents are able to agree a pattern of leave that works for them and their employer, and can take leave and pay in up to 3 blocks (more if their employer agrees), returning to work between periods of leave, if they wish:
Parents also have access to up to 20 Shared Parental Leave in Touch Days (SPLiT days) each. Parents can use one or more of their SPLiT Days to work during a week that they are on Shared Parental Leave:
