Request Adoption Leave

Adoption leave is time off work when you adopt a child or have a child through surrogacy. In the UK, eligible employees are entitled to adoption leave and Statutory Adoption Pay (SAP). This guide shows you how to request adoption leave in Workmax.

note

You can only request adoption leave if you are eligible and your employer has an adoption leave policy that applies to you. You will usually need to provide proof of the adoption or matching. If you are unsure about your eligibility, please contact your HR department, or visit the gov.uk website.
