My wife and I did shared parental leave (she is currently on her leave just now, I returned to work in October). During my maternity leave, I was informed that part of my accrued leave had to be taken as holiday rather than the payment we had anticipated. This meant I had to change my return date. This was done within 8 weeks of my wife going off on her leave therefore we could not give the 8 weeks notice they requested. We found out today that we will not be receiving SMP for the 2.5 weeks difference due to this. Can anyone advise whether we have a leg to stand on to fight this through union or ACAS? My wife's HR manager has said she has been in contact with ACAS about it already and that they are in agreement with her employer.
In short we have received 36.5 weeks of pay out of the 39 we were entitled to. The whole shared parental process has been so confusing and complicated and this has just topped it all off. Any advice much appreciated.
