We are a proud advocate of Shared Parental Leave here at Stonegate. Alex Prevost, General Manager recently took Shared Parental Leave.

“I would recommend Shared Parental Leave to anyone, even if it’s just for a month. The bond I now have with my children is incredible because of that one-on-one time.”

We discussed the options available to us and our financial situation. My wife had just started a new job and is very career-focused. She wanted to go back to work, so we agreed to share the leave.

I took two weeks paternity leave on full pay, two weeks holiday and then went back to work. Once my wife hit Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP), at that point the SMP can go to either myself or her, so she returned to work earning a full salary and I took the Shared Parental Pay.

I truly believe that the bond I now share with my children would not be the same if I didn’t have that one-on-one time with them. I also have an appreciation for my wife’s experience during the first half of her maternity leave.”

"I have never felt so at home in my whole career since joining Stonegate."
