What family-friendly leave is available from my first day at work?
From your first day, you can access Maternity Leave, Paternity Leave, Unpaid Parental Leave, Adoption Leave, and Bereaved Partner’s Paternity Leave (up to 52 weeks if a partner dies). You also have an immediate right to unpaid Time Off for Dependants to handle unforeseen emergencies.
The unforeseen emergency can be for up to 2 weeks, for example if you do not have child care arrangements within 1 week, then you can still claim that as an unforeseen emergency.
Essentially, Unforeseen doesn't necessarily mean same day, or next day issues.
