Parental Leave
Employees have the right to unpaid time off work in order to care for children who are their responsibility. This right exists until the child's fifth birthday, or 18th if disabled.
The right of employees to take parental leave is contained in the Employment Rights Act 1996 and the Maternity and Parental Leave Regulations 1999 which came into force on December 15 1999. The basic right is to take up to 13 weeks' unpaid leave in respect of each child, for whom the employee has parental responsibility, for any purpose connected with the care of that child. Leave should be taken in blocks of one week unless the child is disabled when it can be taken a day at a time.
