Maternity leave

A maternity guide and calculator have been published by the Police Federation of England and Wales so members can get the correct information on entitlements and pay.

The booklet gives members an insight into what they should expect during pregnancy, maternity leave and on return to work. It also covers the range of entitlements available to partners. 

The maternity calculator allows officers to accurately work out their pay by entering certain information on dates.

Members can also look at scenarios in which longer periods of leave might be needed such as a premature birth pregnancy-related sickness in the weeks prior to their due date.
