Rich maternity leave benefits for British immigrants

# UK Immigrants # Introduction In Britain, the maternity law stipulates that women can enjoy maternity leave for up to 52 weeks, of which 39 weeks are paid and the next 13 weeks are unpaid, which makes women in other countries envious. Let's introduce the generous maternity leave and medical benefits of British immigrants. Welcome to read!

Notice period

Employees can start taking maternity leave at any time before the expected date of delivery 1 1 week, but they must inform the employer of the date of taking maternity leave before the expected date of delivery 15 week. If changes are needed in the future, they must inform the employer at least 28 days in advance.

Compulsory maternity leave

Employees must take compulsory maternity leave for two weeks after delivery, during which the employer shall not let employees come to work.

General maternity leave

* * * 26 weeks, the employer must pay the employee according to the statutory maternity leave salary. Employees must work continuously for 26 weeks before the expected date of delivery (15 weeks) and their salary reaches the minimum "national insurance" standard before they are eligible for the "statutory maternity leave salary". According to the standard of "statutory maternity leave salary payment", the first 6 weeks are 90% of the monthly salary, and the last 33 weeks are paid according to the "maternity leave salary payment standard".

Extra maternity leave

Maternity leave can be added for those who have served for more than 26 weeks before the expected date of delivery/0/4 weeks before kloc. Additional maternity leave begins at the end of ordinary maternity leave and can last for up to 26 weeks. Those who take extra maternity leave and intend to return to work early must notify their employers at least 28 days in advance. During the employee's extra maternity leave, the employer does not need to pay wages. If a woman does not want to return to the workplace after taking maternity leave, according to the regulations, she must inform the employer in advance, but it is not necessary to refund the statutory maternity leave salary in full (generally only two months' salary).

Strengthen maternity leave pay

Many companies can pay employees who have served for a certain number of years (such as 1 year or more) during the extra maternity leave. For example, a pregnant female employee who has worked in the company for more than 1 year with a multinational investment provides 39 weeks' full salary+1 week's 90% salary, so if you don't stop working for one year, the annual leave will still accumulate and the salary will basically be taken! Of course, the average unit does not have such good benefits. Usually 13 weeks 90% salary, 26 weeks SMP is very good.

male maternity leave

If the man has served the employer continuously for 26 weeks before the birth of the baby (15 weeks) or within one week after receiving the notification to confirm the adoption, he can choose to enjoy the paid maternity leave of 1 week (adoption) or 2 weeks (childbirth) (cannot be used alone), and the leave time should be within 56 days after the birth or adoption of the baby.

parental leave

A person who has served for 65,438+0 years may take care leave (unpaid) for each child after giving birth or adopting a child, for a maximum of 65,438+08 weeks, before the newborn's fifth birthday (or five years before adoption, or before the adoptee reaches 65,438+08 years after adoption, or before the disabled child reaches 65,438.

Each child can take four weeks of nursing leave every year, and the employer should be notified three weeks in advance. Due to commercial factors, employers can ask employees to postpone taking nursing leave within six months. If an employee requests to continue to take nursing leave after maternity leave, the employer shall not refuse.

Extended reading: the key to the success of British entrepreneurs' immigration application

Please think carefully before submitting your application: What does the British government want? Of course, the direct answer is money. In fact, money is just a facade. What do policy makers-conservative coalition governments need? -Votes, jobs. Why? Because reducing the unemployment rate, increasing the employment rate and reducing the number of welfare applicants can greatly boost voters' confidence in the current British government and improve the chances of the ruling party being re-elected!

The core and starting point of British entrepreneur immigration policy is around this goal. Unlike EB-5, which is highly praised by American immigrants, the British government is relatively rational, conservative and tolerant, and the conditions given are: visa first, then investment in the UK. Therefore, the British government should naturally strengthen the examination of first-time entry visas for British entrepreneurs.

Therefore, before you want to get a British green card or a British entrepreneur immigrant visa, please think about how to successfully create employment opportunities in the UK, how to successfully run a business enterprise in the UK, and meet the basic salary and tax requirements.
