Can I do Shared Parental Leave if I am on a fixed-term contract?

You have to meet the following criteria –

• • have been employed continuously by the same employer for at least 26 weeks by the end of the 15th week before the due date (this is around the time you got pregnant)
  • stay with the same employer while you take SPL

It might be worth you asking your employer if they have any movement on this. It does seem unfair that your contract ends as you start maternity leave, so you won’t be able to stay with your employer.
