Maternity leave and using accrued holiday

Beth

Hi everyone,

I wonder if anyone can help. I have an employee who is currently on maternity leave in her 'additional maternity leave' period. She would like to use her accrued holiday now. At my company, our policy states that holiday entitlement accrued during maternity leave must be used before the employee is due back. It cannot be used to extend the maternity leave but can be used to shorten it by using at the end of maternity leave i.e. the last 13 weeks.

My query is the employee permitted by law to take her holiday now at roughly the 27-31 week mark, and what implication would that have for her SMP? 

Thanks

Beth

  • Hi Beth,

    I'm inclined to agree with David on this one. What is the reasoning for not allowing women to use their holiday entitlement at the end of the 52 weeks, and where do you draw the line? i.e could they return to work physically for 1 day or1 week and then use their holiday?

    What is your policy if a male employee takes shared parental leave with regards to holiday?
