Testimonial

Speech Mark I am writing to you to tell you how grateful I am for your help. My employers had made my life hell by discriminating against me because of my health condition. I came to see you one evening after work (which you stayed well beyond your opening hours to see me) to discuss the matter. For someone like me who had never been in this situation you made the whole experience very easy and professional. You even worked the finances out so that you made it possible for me to take further action. I cannot recommend or thank you enough for your help and support in this matter, I will always recommend you to any friends or family who may find themselves in an awkward position with their employer. I actually felt I had someone on my side and it was not just me against a big company. Speech Mark

Maternity, Paternity, Parental and Adoption leave

Employer Service

Do you have a member of staff requesting maternity, paternity, parental or adoption leave?  Are you unsure of your obligations and what you must pay?  Have you received a flexible working request from an employee returning from maternity leave?

The rules on parenting and adoption leave are complex and change regularly.  You will probably understand how to administer maternity pay and leave, but do you know what to with paternity and adoption leave requests?  Having the right policies in place will make sure you don’t fall foul of the rules, and the right policies can even motivate staff if you are seen as a good employer.  It is increasingly common to receive requests for flexible working from mothers reaching the end of their maternity leave.  The right advice will mean that you don’t give away flexibility that you can’t afford.

At Backhouse Solicitors we are experts on the parental leave rules.  We can prepare your policies for you, talk you through each new leave application and help you respond to requests for flexible working.

The benefits for your business:

  • Up to date policies will keep you on the right side of the law and save you time answering questions from staff
  • Our advice on flexible working requests will stop you giving away flexibility that you can’t afford

Don’t let the parental leave rules become a burden - contact us on 01245 893400 or email info@backhouse-solicitors.co.uk to speak to one of our expert solicitors.
