Maternity, Paternity, Adoption and Parental Leave Policy Writers

These policies outline employees’ rights to take time off when becoming a parent through birth, adoption, or shared care, and explain how leave and pay are managed in line with UK law.

They ensure consistent treatment for all eligible employees and help employers comply with statutory obligations.

What Do These Leave Policies Cover?

A combined family leave policy typically includes:

• Eligibility for maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental leave

• Statutory and enhanced leave entitlements

• Pay details, including Statutory Maternity or Paternity Pay (SMP, SPP)

• Notification and evidence requirements

• Keeping in touch (KIT) days and return-to-work support

• Parental leave entitlements for parents of young children

• Protection from unfair treatment or dismissal

Employers must comply with regulations set out in the Employment Rights Act 1996, the Shared Parental Leave Regulations 2014, and related guidance. Failure to follow correct procedures can lead to claims of discrimination or unfair dismissal.

Providing clear guidance helps employees plan their leave and return with confidence, while ensuring the business continues to operate smoothly during periods of absence.
