Hi. Does anybody know how long you have to be back at work before you can start another period of adoption leave ( and receive the full- paid period)
It's obviously theoretical at the moment but wanted to be prepared.

MrsB I don't think there is anything 'legal', so I think it'll depend entirely on your contract and employment benefits. I know if my DH takes his full entitlement of six months (3 full pay, 3 half pay) he has to return to work for 3 months following his leave, and after that three months, things return to 'normal' and he would be entitled to a 'new' adoption leave, providing he returns for 3 months following it.

Do you have a copy of your employment contract? Or access to employment benefits documents?

Not at home no. I think they are on the intranet at work. I think I'll have to bite the bullet and ask, but I'll ask my union rep, not management. I don't want them catching wind of any of this before we've decided what to do.
