Parental Leave

[Kafri]

Can anyone fill me in on the rules around parental leave.

My childminder has pulled out leaving me with no childcare whatsoever. I have found a nursery who has a place for him but can only take him from the beginning of oct meaning i have 2 weeks without childcare.

Am i right in thinking that my husband should be able to request parental leave and as long as he gives enough notice, should have no reason to be denied it?

Thanks

Have a look at this guide which will tell you whether you and your husband are eligible, what the terms are, what notice has to be given and under what circumstances an employer can postpone it.
