4 Maternity/paternity, parental and adoption leave This section covers ERR outcomes 1, 2, 8 and 9 (see page 3). WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Parents are entitled to a period of maternity, paternity and/or parental leave, which can be paid or unpaid. Maternity leave Employers cannot automatically dismiss a woman because she is pregnant. All pregnant employees are entitled to take up to one year’s (52 weeks) maternity leave, regardless of length of service with the employer, but only 39 weeks are paid for. Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) is paid for 39 weeks and is made up in the following way: 90% of your average weekly earnings before tax for the first six weeks for the remaining 33 weeks the standard rate or a rate equal to 90% of your average weekly earnings, whichever is lower ( the standard rate of SMP is £136.78 and is revised every April). To qualify for maternity pay you must be employed by the same employer continuously for at least 26 weeks into the 15th week before the week your baby is due. Women must give eight weeks’ notice when changing their date of return from maternity leave. Optional ‘keeping in touch’ days have been introduced enabling women to work for up to 10 days during the maternity leave period. ‘Keeping in touch’ days are paid and must be agreed by the employer. All women have a right to return to work after maternity leave, regardless of the size of the employer. Paternity leave New fathers can take either one week or two consecutive weeks’ paid Ordinary Paternity Leave. To qualify for Ordinary Paternity Pay you must give your employer a SC3 form at least 28 days before you wish the pay to start. The statutory pay for Ordinary Paternity Leave is £136.78, or 90% of your average wage (whichever is lower). All paternity leave allowance must be taken in one block. Ordinary Paternity Leave can be taken by both biological and adoptive parents and includes both heterosexual and same-sex couples. ©2014 Skills CFA 25 | P a g e
