Family leave

You can find information on all of the following types of family leave and pay on the Human Resources website:

• Adoption and surrogacy leave
• Maternity leave
• Parental leave, if you want to take more time off to spend with your child
• Paternity and partner leave for new fathers
• Shared parental leave

Each page and policy will give you an idea of how much time off you can take how much pay you can expect to receive following the birth or adoption of a child.

UK law gives pregnant employees legal rights, including paid time off for antenatal care, maternity leave and maternity pay as well as protection against unfair treatment, discrimination or dismissal.  You can find information on the UK government website.
