The following benefits are suspended during parental leave, in addition to your regular pay: [list the suspended benefits]. In other respects, your contract of employment remains in place and your continuity of employment is not broken by your period of parental leave.

After taking this parental leave, you will have [[number] [weeks'/days'] parental leave entitlement left to take in the 12-month period from [date] to [date]/exhausted your parental leave entitlement in the 12-month period from [date] to [date] because you can only take four weeks of parental leave in any given year.
