Surrogate Parents

Surrogate Parent’s Rights – Time off for antenatal meetings

Surrogate Parents are entitled to reasonable time off work to attend two antenatal appointments with the woman carrying the child.

You should discuss your likely need for time off with the director(s), giving as much notice as possible and wherever possible try to arrange them as near to the start or end of the day.

Surrogate Leave and Pay 

If you are having a child through surrogacy, you will be permitted to take ordinary paternity leave and pay, adoption leave and pay and shared parental leave and pay.
