Purpose and scope

It is recognised that parents (male and female) may want to take time off from their work to spend time with their children. This policy provides a fair and consistent approach to the granting of parental leave.

Parental leave applies to both parents of children who are either born or adopted.

Entitlement to parental leave is a separate right in addition to the statutory right to maternity, adoption, or paternity leave and pay.
