Family rights

When a member of staff requests family leave, our solicitors will advise you on the correct process. We advise on family rights including:

  • maternity leave 
  • adoption leave
  • paternity leave
  • parental leave
  • shared parental leave
  • time off for dependants in emergencies

The eligibility criteria and notice provisions for the various types of leave are quite intricate, and we will simplify the provisions for you. We’ll help ensure that you have appropriate policies in place and that you are compliant with employment legislation.

If you’ve had a request for leave and you are unsure of how to respond, talk to us immediately so that we can give you a simple process to follow.
