Unpaid and Shared Parental Leave

(Unpaid-and-Shared-Parental-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.
