Mothers, fathers, partners (including same-sex partners) and adoptive parents all have legal rights to family leave. In the UK, we have several different types of family leave and some of them overlap. Each type has its own rules, the amount of time that can be taken off work and the amount of pay that will be paid.

This policy covers:

o   Maternity Leave and pay

o   Adoption Leave and pay

o   Paternity Leave and pay

o   Shared Parental Leave and pay

o   Parental Bereavement Leave and pay

o   Time off for dependants
