Enhanced Parental Leave

Roles and practices offering parental leave above the statutory minimum. Why the numbers matter, and what to ask.

Knowledge

Enhanced parental leave, in plain terms.

Enhanced parental leave means a practice paying above the statutory minimum when you have a child: more weeks at full or higher pay, and increasingly meaningful offers for partners and adoptive parents too.

The numbers are the whole story, so ask for them directly. Enhanced pay through leave can be worth thousands of pounds, and generous family policies are one of the strongest signals of a practice people stay at.

This hub gathers the roles and practices advertising enhanced parental leave as part of their offer.
