Shared parental leave, please help ???
I’m super confused about shared parental leave . Hubby wants to do it but selfishly I’m thinking I’ll be the one majorly taking care of baby even when he’s off anyway because I work from home. So I’m curious how the pay works , if I look at it in 3 blocks and I get 6 months pull pay from work and 3 months SMP with 3 months not paid . What block am I sharing and how does it affect what I get paid ?

@Natalie so by unpaid section , you mean the 9-12 month period right ? Also not sure if you know but can you take it from the first paid section , the 6 months paid so that my husband is paid full salary? Thank you for responding
I do. I don't think so because the fully paid salary is from your work whereas SMP is from the government.
Worth finding out what his works policy is as they may enhance shared parental leave so that he gets full pay. You can’t pass off your full pay that’s enhanced company pay. You pass on your SMP or your unpaid period x
@Natalie @Sarah this is super helpful . You’ve both being more helpful to me than google 😅😅 thank you so much 💕

You can specify whether it's just leave or pay too. We took 3 weeks from the unpaid section that he used immediately after the 2 weeks paternity.
