Time off for family
When you or your partner gives birth or adopts a child, you may be entitled to take time off through Maternity Leave, Paternity Leave or Adoption Leave.
As your child is growing up, you may also be entitled to take more time off through Parental Leave.
In the case of an emergency, involving anybody who is dependant on you, the law allows you to take time off to sort the emergency out.
