Qualifications for adoption leave
- be newly matched with a child for adoption by an approved adoption agency; and
- be the only partner taking adoption leave (when a couple adopts jointly, if one partner is eligible for adoption leave and pay, the other may take paternity leave and pay. Similarly, when an individual adopts, if they are eligible for adoption leave and pay, their partner may be entitled to paternity leave and pay).
To qualify for adoption pay, in addition to the above, you must have been employed continuously by the University for a period of 26 weeks or more leading into the ‘matching week’.
