At Explore Learning we want to make sure that parents are given the time they need to spend with their children, and that's why we're committed to providing maternity and paternity leave that works for new parents.

Maternity and paternity leave rights of employees

Every employee in the UK has the right to maternity and paternity leave. These rights are designed to support individuals during significant life events, such as the birth or adoption of a child.

Maternity leave statutory rights

Maternity leave in the UK typically lasts for up to 52 weeks. During this period, employees are entitled to Statutory Maternity Pay for up to 39 weeks. It's important to note that employees on maternity leave are protected from redundancy, and if redundancies occur, alternative suitable employment should be provided.

Paternity leave statutory rights

Paternity leave allows eligible employees up to two weeks of paid leave. Paternity leave aims to give fathers or partners the opportunity to support their families during the early stages of parenthood.

Shared parental leave

Shared parental leave is an option for eligible parents who want a more flexible approach to caring for their child. It allows them to share the responsibility of childcare and work more collaboratively. The benefits of shared parental leave include increased flexibility, better work-life balance for both parents, and fostering a more equal division of caregiving duties.

Maternity and paternity leave at Explore Learning

We understand the importance of supporting our employees during significant life events. Our maternity and paternity leave policies go beyond statutory requirements, offering additional benefits to ensure our team members can balance their professional and personal lives.

With Explore Learning you will be entitled to 12 months maternity leave or two weeks of paternity leave. We believe in fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment, acknowledging the diverse needs of our employees, so if it suits you better we offer an alternative shared parental leave scheme that allows parents to share 50 weeks of leave between them.
