Statutory Shared Parental Pay - What do I do if I have a change of circumstances?

You may be able to cancel your decision to end your shared maternity or adoption leave early in exceptional circumstances if both the following apply:

• The planned end date hasn’t passed
• You haven’t already returned to work

and one of the following must also apply:

• Within eight weeks of you (mother/ birthing parent/ person entitled to Statutory Adoption Pay) submitting notice to end maternity/adoption leave, you find out that neither you or your partner qualifies for Shared Parental Leave or Statutory Shared Parental Pay
• You (mother/ birthing parent/ person entitled to Statutory Adoption Pay) gave notice to end leave before the birth and not less than six weeks after the birth
• Your partner dies (if you are the mother / birthing parent / person entitled to Statutory Adoption Pay of child).
