Shared parental leave


Employers that enhance shared parental pay are twice as likely to receive shared parental leave requests as those who offer the statutory rate, according to research released by XpertHR.


The report, Shared parental leave 2016, found that, out of 397 employers, the proportion with eligible employees making shared parental leave requests rises from one-third to more than half of those offering enhanced shared parental pay. But it falls to only a quarter of employers that don’t enhance shared parental pay.
