Whether you or your partner are having a baby, you're adopting a child or having a baby through a surrogacy arrangement, Made Tech encourages you to take leave so you can welcome the new child (or children!) into your family. Our paid parental leave is the same for all!
Note: You will have to have worked at Made Tech for at least 26 weeks at the point of the child/children's birth to be eligible for these benefits.
We provide 12 weeks maternity/adoption leave at full pay. If you’re eligible, you’ll get statutory pay for a further 39 weeks. You can take up to a total of 52 weeks.
For adoption leave, only one parent can take this type of leave. The other parent will need to take paternity leave or shared parental leave.
The breakdown of pay is:
- 12 weeks at 100% pay (from Made Tech)
- 6 weeks at 90% pay (statutory maternity/adoption pay)
- 33 weeks at statutory or 90% pay whichever is lower (statutory maternity/adoption pay)
- return to work on reduced hours (30 hours) for 4 weeks on full pay to phase back into full time work
