Intention To Take Shared Parental Leave Notice (Adoption)
This template serves as a framework for the expecting parents to formally communicate their intention to their employer regarding their desire to share the parental responsibilities following the adoption. The document implements the requirements specified in the UK Shared Parental Leave Regulations and ensures compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.
The template typically includes key details such as the employee's name, contact information, adoption information (e.g., date of placement or expected placement of the child), and the start and end dates of the intended shared parental leave. It also provides a section for employees to specify any statutory entitlements they wish to take, such as maternity or paternity leave.
By utilizing this template, the adopting parents ensure that they comply with legal requirements, provide their employer with sufficient notice, and establish a formal record of their intention to take shared parental leave. It helps create a transparent and documented process that protects the employee's rights and ensures their entitlement to take a period of leave to bond with and care for their newly adopted child.
