Paternity & Adoption Leave

During pregnancy and the period following childbirth both mothers and fathers receive a significant degree of legal protection against workplace disadvantage.

This protection seeks to avoid discrimination, work stress and financial difficulty through anti-discrimination law, statutory entitlements to leave and financial benefits.

In return, those concerned have responsibilities, primarily in respect of keeping their employer notified of their wishes and intentions.
