Family Matters - Maternity & Parenting Rights


All employees have a right to take a reasonable period of time off work to deal with an emergency involving a dependant, (e.g. a child, spouse, parent etc). This is in addition to the employee's normal holiday entitlement.

There is no set limit on the amount of time which can be taken, but it should be a reasonable period to allow the employee to deal with the emergency.

The right does not include a right to pay during time off and this is left to the discretion of the employer.

Any employee who has been denied time off to care for dependants or time off for ante-natal classes and appointments may complain to an Employment Tribunal.

Newsflash

  • Now that the new and improved Bits 'n Bumps is up and running we will be working hard to keep the content new and up to date for our users. Our current featured section is 'Family Matters'.

    The Family Matters section is one of the most important here at Bits 'n Bumps. If it wasn't for our familes, then the founders wouldn't have met and you wouldn't have this great website! As a result we're very family orientated, and at one time or another have all gone through every stage of family life you can imagine.

     
  • Our forum is now live. Please take a few minutes to register and have a look around, there's something for everyone to be found! 

  • You can now create your very own tickers at Bits 'n Bumps’s partner site; TICKERTASTIC!! Tickers are commonly used in forums to display pregnancy progress, children’s ages or countdowns to any special event you choose, and the resulting code can simply be added to your signature on most forums and online communities.

          
  • The all new and improved look Bits 'n Bumps is finally here. We have spent a lot of time upgrading the look and feel of the site and associated community. We hope you’re pleased and look forward to receiving your feedback!
