Reduced hours from parental leave & redundancy

4 replies

Reposting here for more traffic hopefully than Craicnet Blush

Based in Ireland.
Considering taking parental leave one day per week, but not sure how this would impact any future redundancy calculation?
If made redundant while still taking parental leave, would the calculation be based on 4 days or 5 days?

Have googled, but keep getting results for 'Parents Leave' instead of 'Parental Leave'

Don't want to ask HR yet, as I'd like to have my ducks in a row first.

Anyone got any ideas?

What do you mean by parental leave?
If its the 18 weeks leave by age 18 then that need to be taken in blocks of 1 week unless your employer agrees otherwise. Also limited to a maximum of 4 weeks per year per child

Ireland will have different laws as not part of the UK……

The citizens information link doesn't really help as it doesn't refer to the treatment plan in the case of redundancy. It does say employment rights are protected.... but not sure if it means any redundancy calculation would be based on 5 days or 4 days.
