18/ Parental Leave & Pay

If you are the parent/adoptive parent of a child or have or expect to have parental responsibility for a child, provided you have 1 year’s continuous service with the Company, you are entitled to take up to 18 weeks unpaid ordinary parental leave for the purpose of caring for a child, up to the child’s 18th birthday.

Leave must be taken in a minimum of 1 week blocks (except for where a child is disabled, then leave may be taken as single days or multiples of 1 day) and is limited to a maximum of 4 weeks in any year for each child.

At least 21 days’ notice must be provided and leave may be postponed apart from leave taken immediately after the birth or adoption, depending on the needs of Reprotec UK.
