Paid or unpaid leave granted to employees who adopt a child.
Adoption leave is a statutory entitlement allowing employees who adopt a child to take time off work. In the UK, eligible employees can take up to 52 weeks of adoption leave (39 weeks paid at Statutory Adoption Pay rates), mirroring maternity leave rights. Both parents in an adoption may qualify for different types of parental leave. HR software manages adoption leave requests, calculates statutory pay, and tracks the return-to-work process.
