Maternity and Paternity Leave Seminars

Employers need to be fully aware of the new statutory rights to Shared Parental Leave and Pay for employees who are expecting a baby on or after 5 April 2015.

Fathers will be able to request more leave from work in the first year following the birth. A mother may decide to return to work earlier because the father is taking leave in their place. Shared parental leave can be taken in discontinuous blocks and parents will be able to request to mix work with leave and return to work between periods of leave if they wish.

George Green LLP are hosting short seminars at various locations on the following dates to explain the new rights to employers. The dates and locations for each of the seminars are as follows:

Seminar One
Date: Wednesday 11th March 2015
Time: 8am - 9am
Location: George Green LLP, 195 High Street, Cradley Heath, B64 5HW

Seminar Two
Date: Thursday 19th March 2015
Time: 4pm - 5pm
Location: George Green LLP, 19 Waterloo Road, Wolverhampton, WV1 4DY

Seminar Three
Date: Wednesday 1st April 2015
Time: 4pm - 5pm
Location: The Library of Birmingham, Brainbox, Centenary Square, Broad Street, Birmingham, B1 2ND

The seminars will be free, last 30 minutes only and will focus on practical issues rather than the (very boring!) technical detail. There will be an opportunity for questions at the end of each session.
