How it's worked out

2 weeks total − 0 weeks taken = 2 weeks remaining

Audit note

This is your statutory LEAVE balance only, never pay. None of these entitlements are pro-rated by hours or days worked, and eligibility for the leave itself is a day-one right regardless of length of service — pay may still depend on continuous service.

Stop tracking this by hand

Statutory leave dates and balances are easy to miscalculate by hand. Tempry tracks every type of leave against the right statutory rules automatically, so notice deadlines and remaining balances are never worked out on a calendar again.

How this calculation works

Maternity, paternity, shared parental, adoption and parental bereavement leave are all day-one rights in the UK — see how many weeks apply to each, and how much is left once some has already been taken.

Worked example

2 weeks total − 0 weeks taken = 2 weeks remaining

Frequently asked questions

How much parental bereavement leave am I entitled to?
2 weeks, which can be taken together or split into two separate weeks, at any point within 56 weeks of your child's death. It's a day-one right regardless of how long you've worked for your employer.
Who qualifies for parental bereavement leave?
Parents, adoptive parents, guardians and foster parents of a child under 18 who dies, or a baby stillborn after 24 weeks of pregnancy.
Do I need to take both weeks at once?
No — the 2 weeks can be taken separately, at different points within the 56-week window, whichever suits you.
