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:
and one of the following must also apply:
-
Within eight weeks of you (mother) submitting notice to end maternity/adoption leave, you find out that neither you or your partner qualifies for SPL or SSPP
-
You (mother) 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 of child).
