We have just found out DH gets 26 weeks fully paid shared parental leave.
I work in a job where I get basic SMP no extras. I had originally planned to take 52 weeks off and not return to work (it's not financially viable for me to return to work and pay childcare).
I am a little confused by SPL if I take the first 26 weeks off on maternity leave and then transfer the rest of my "leave" to DH can I then "return to work" but in reality take unpaid leave from my job for the remaining 26 weeks whilst DH takes his 26 weeks SPL. Or do I need to hand in my notice at 26 weeks, if so will that invalidate DHs SPL.
Can we Share parental leave if I don't return to work?
