As our readers will be aware, for parents of babies due on or after 5 April 2015 a new system of “shared parental leave” will be available. In short, a mother will be able to “share” 50 weeks of her maternity leave and 37 weeks of maternity pay with an eligible father. Periods of leave can be taken consecutively or concurrently and strict notification rules apply.

To assist parents in calculating their shared parental leave eligibility and pay entitlements the Department of Business, Innovation and Skill (BIS) has developed on “online calculator” which can be access here https://www.gov.uk/government/news/calculate-your-leave-and-pay-when-you-have-a-child
