Shared parental leave (SPL) is the process where you can share the full joint entitlement of maternity and paternity leave, and pay, with your partner once your baby is born. Qualifying parents can share up to 50 weeks’ leave from two weeks after the birth of the child until the child’s first birthday. Its purpose is to give parents more flexibility in considering how to best care for, and bond with their child.
