Family Friendly Leave & Pay
Who: Employees and People Managers should discuss and agree options available under Amey's Family Friendly Policies.
What: These are contractual statutory pay and benefits that support you if you are about to become parents or already have parental responsibilities.
Individually they are known as:
- Adoption & Surrogacy leave
- Maternity leave and pay
- Parental leave and pay
- Parental Bereavement leave and pay
- Paternity leave and pay
- Shared Parental leave and pay
- Carers Leave
Why: You have a responsibility to comply with the procedures and notice periods for requesting leave in respect of family policies and your People Manager should support you to ensure requests are dealt with promptly and fairly. Leave in these instances will impact your pay and so the timeliness of the request, approval and associated evidence is essential.
