Parental leave advice for employers
Get the latest on parental leave entitlements in Ireland with Employers Direct.
Here to help you understand parental leave in Ireland
Parental leave lets a parent take either one continuous period of leave or several discontinuous periods of leave. It’s up to your employee to tell you how they want to take it, but you can insist that the leave is taken in a continuous 14-week block.

This is a fantastic service. The advisor I spoke to was extremely helpful and listened carefully to everything I wished to discuss - offering guidance and addressing my concerns. He also called to follow up with me twice to ensure I did not require any additional help. Could not be happier with the service I was given.
We were very pleased with the prompt support over the phone and a representative was booked to come to our office the next day. Excellent and efficient service.
Very easy to make contact, explained in plain English and followed up to see if any more help was needed. Great job thank you
