Negotiating checklist on adoption leave
[ch 4: page 39]Reps can aim to:
• include paid time off for pre-adoption meetings;
• agree that parents adopting school-age children can have flexibility over working hours;
• ensure that leave is available to either adoptive parent; and
• make sure that the other parent (secondary carer) is entitled to the statutory or contractual rights to shared parental leave and paternity leave.
