Apply for maternity, paternity or adoption leave Task
You will need to complete the maternity/paternity/adoption pay and leave application form and send to HR Operations.
For those applying for maternity leave, you should also send your maternity certificate MATB1, issued by your doctor or midwife to HR. You should notify HR of your intention to take maternity leave by the 15th week before your Expected Week of Confinement (EWC) – the week your baby is due.
For those applying for adoption leave, you should also send your matching certificate, issued by your adoption agency to HR. You should notify HR of your intention to take adoption leave within seven days of being notified by your adoption agency that you have been matched with a child.
