With Shared Parental Leave, do HR check the amount of paid time off your partner takes? Or is it simply what you inform them?

I like where your head’s at but it’s not HR you need to worry about in the first instance. Each individual employer won’t check or especially care but the government, on the other hand, very much will care as it’s a government-backed programme. If they realise the pair of you have been double-dipping then you’ll have problems - and your employers will know I’m afraid.

Thanks both, that’s helpful! And I guess this is dependent on each individual’s tax situation, but generally is it sensible for the higher earner (say myself the husband) to take a greater share of the paid leave? And, does that mean the other partner (my wife) would receive nothing or would they still receive statutory pay?

You get 13 weeks leave unpaid and 39 paid between you. Split it up out however you want, the amount you’ll get paid for your share of the 39 weeks depends on your employer and the benefit package they offer, it could be anything from full pay like Accenture all the way down to nearly nothing on statutory pay. You can both be off work together, in any combination of paid or unpaid, providing the time you take over the year between you doesn’t breach 52 weeks total/39 paid.

The only caveat is that however much paid leave you take, you have to take it within the first 39 weeks after the birth, i.e any time off in the last three calendar months must be unpaid. Chances are though if you split the leave equally you won’t get that far before you both have to return to work anyway!

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year.

I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?
