Author: Lynda Macdonald

Brightmine editor: Laura Kimpton

Introduction

This training guide explains the statutory right to ordinary parental leave, including:

• Who is eligible?
• What notice does an employee have to give?
• When can ordinary parental leave be taken?
• What rights do employees have during and after ordinary parental leave?

Your employer may offer employees contractual entitlements above the minimum statutory rights discussed in this guide. As a line manager, you will need to take these additional rights into account.
