I've just come back to work after a year's maternity leave. I stuck 3 weeks annual leave plus one week parental leave onto the end of my mat leave. I had assumed that the parental leave would be unpaid but my HR dept tell me that as I'm on a TUPE contract (transferred from another organisation a few years ago) it is actually paid which is lovely BUT also that I've only got one more week of paid parental leave until DS is 5.
I've had a little Google and it looks like the norm is 13 weeks unpaid leave until the age of 5. Is it just the norm or a legal requirement?
