Child Care & Financial Benefits

Benefits you may be entitled to when going back to work

If you are thinking of returning to work after having a baby then you are entitled to financial and practical help with childcare:

Parental leave

If you have a child who is under the age of 5 years or a disabled child under the age of 18 then you are entitled to take unpaid time off from work to take care of them. You are entitled to parental leave such as:

  • Take 13 weeks off work for each child under the age of 5.
  • 18 weeks off work for a child under the age of 18 who is disabled.

Parental leave is different from maternity or paternity leave and is usually unpaid. Parental leave must be taken in full weeks; you can’t for example take the odd day off to take your child to the Doctor’s. You can’t take more than four weeks leave in any one year and must give your employer at least 21 days notice when you want to take parental leave. Click here to Read more
