- specify the intended start and end dates for any continuous unpaid parental leave
- state the total number of flexible unpaid parental leave days the employee intends to take
- at least 4 weeks before the intended start date:
- -confirm the intended start and end dates
- -confirm the number of flexible unpaid parental leave days they're taking,
- -advise the employer of any changes to the intended start and end dates (unless it is not possible to do so). An employer may require evidence that would satisfy a reasonable person of the actual or expected date of birth of a child (for example a medical certificate), or the day or expected day of placement of a child under 16.
