Maternity, Paternity & Shared Parental Leave

Whether because you or your partner is having a baby, if you're adopting a child or having a baby through a surrogacy arrangement, Made Tech encourages you to take leave so that you can welcome the new child (or children!) into your family. Our paid Parental Leave is the same for all!

Note: You will have to be in employment with Made Tech for a minimum of 26 weeks to be eligible for these benefits.

Maternity Leave

We provide 12 weeks Maternity Leave at full pay followed by statutory pay for a further 39 weeks. You can take up to a total of 52 weeks.

The breakdown of pay is as follows:

  • 12 weeks at 100% pay (from Made Tech)
  • 6 weeks at 90% pay (Statutory Maternity Pay)
  • 33 weeks at £151.20 or 90% pay which ever is lower (Statutory Maternity Pay)
  • return to work on reduced hours (30 hours) for 4 weeks on full pay to phase back into full time work

There are detailed government guidelines here: www.gov.uk/employers-maternity-pay-leave.

Paternity Leave

We provide 12 weeks Paternity Leave at full pay and the option of shared parental leave. The paternity leave must end within 56 days of the birth.

The breakdown of pay is as follows:

  • 12 weeks at 100% pay
  • return to work on reduced hours (30 hours) for 4 weeks on full pay to phase back into full time work

Government guidelines available here: www.gov.uk/paternity-pay-leave.

Shared Parental Leave

We provide 12 weeks Shared Parental Leave at full pay and up to 39 weeks at statutory pay.

The breakdown of pay is as follows if you qualify for SPL:

  • 12 weeks at 100% pay (from Made Tech)
  • 6 weeks at 90% pay (Statutory Maternity Pay)
  • 33 weeks at £151.20 or 90% pay which ever is lower (Statutory Maternity Pay)
  • return to work on reduced hours (30 hours) for 4 weeks on full pay to phase back into full time work

The rules around SPL are fairly complex, government guidelines are available here: https://www.gov.uk/shared-parental-leave-and-pay.

Other Considerations

We offer a number of additional company benefits which may be attractive to new parents, including Remote Working, Untracked Holiday Allowance, Flexible Work Weeks and Flexible Working Hours.

Note: There is a strong desire to improve our offering, though we're currently constrained by our company size. As we grow and get a larger team and turnover, we're expecting to be able to make a more attractive package available
