Document background
A Parental Leave Letter to Employer is a crucial document used when an employee needs to formally request time off to care for their child. Under English and Welsh law, eligible employees are entitled to up to 18 weeks of unpaid parental leave for each child under 18, with specific notice requirements and conditions. This letter should be submitted at least 21 days before the intended leave start date and must include essential information such as leave dates, child details, and any specific arrangements needed during the absence. The document ensures compliance with UK employment legislation and helps maintain clear communication between employee and employer.
