Why this form is necessary

The Shared Parental Leave Extension Request Form is a crucial document that enables eligible employees in the UK to formally request an extension to their shared parental leave. It offers a structured format for parents to provide essential details such as the desired extension period, reasons for the extension, and the proposed new leave schedule. This form ensures compliance with legal requirements and helps organisations efficiently manage and accommodate extended leave requests, facilitating transparent and legally sound communication between employees and employers.

By using this form, employees can make their extension requests clear and documented, enhancing the organisation's ability to plan for staff absences and allocate resources effectively. It also provides employers with a streamlined process for evaluating and responding to extension requests, maintaining fairness and consistency in the treatment of all employees.

  • Employment Rights Act 1996: Provides the legal framework for employees' rights to request extensions of Shared Parental Leave and the process for approval.

  • Equality Act 2010: Ensures that the extension approval process is fair and does not involve discrimination or bias based on protected characteristics.

  • Data Protection Act 2018 (incorporating GDPR): Mandates the handling of personal data in compliance with data protection principles during the extension approval process.
