Here to help you understand parental leave in Ireland

Parental leave lets a parent take either one continuous period of leave or several discontinuous periods of leave. It’s up to your employee to tell you how they want to take it, but you can insist that the leave is taken in a continuous 14-week block. As is often the case when it comes to tricky Irish employment legislation, it’s best to get advice from the experts. And when it comes to parental leave, there’s nobody better than an Employers Direct advisor.
