Request Shared Parental Leave

Shared parental leave lets eligible parents share leave and pay in the first year after their child is born or placed for adoption. In the UK, eligible employees can receive Statutory Shared Parental Pay (ShPP). This guide shows you how to request shared parental leave in Workmax.

note

You can only request shared parental leave if you and your partner are eligible and your employer has a shared parental leave policy that applies to you. If you are unsure about your eligibility, please contact your HR department, or visit the gov.uk website.
