Chapter 2
Negotiating checklist on shared parental leave
[ch 2: pages 26-27]Reps can aim to:
• negotiate more blocks of leave for members who require more flexibility. For example, an employer could agree to split the three blocks into smaller blocks of up to a week;
• get shared parental leave paid at full pay for as long as possible;
• reduce or remove any service/qualifying period for contractual shared parental pay;
• negotiate for KIT days to be paid; and
• make sure that all contractual rights continue during the whole period of shared parental leave.
