An employee entitled to SPL and ShPP also has an individual entitlement to 20 SPLIT days. This enables them to work up to 20 days without ending their Shared Parental Leave or pay. SPLIT days can be any days the employee attends work. This is regardless of employee’s working pattern and can be continuous or odd days.

Pay the employee for any SPLIT days worked. The rate of pay is as per the employee’s contract of employment. You may agree a different rate of pay between the employee and employer.

Once an employee exceeds the 20 allotted SPLIT days, they’re no longer entitled to further ShPP. This is regardless of what paid week entitlement remains at that point.
