All employees (regardless of how long they've worked for the employer) are entitled to up to 2 days of unpaid pre-adoption leave to attend any interviews or examinations required to adopt. This leave can be taken as:
- a single continuous period of up to 2 days, or
- any separate periods to which the employee and employer agree. If an employee has other leave available, such as annual leave, the employer may direct them to use this leave before taking unpaid pre-adoption leave. An employee must give their employer notice they are taking unpaid pre-adoption leave as soon as possible (which may be after the leave has started). They need to tell them the expected duration of the leave and, if required, provide evidence that would satisfy a reasonable person.
