    Hi just wondering if anyone had experience of the following and could give advice
    I'm a teacher and my wife works for a different govt body (,not education)
    She had been taking one day a week parental leave but her days are now gone .
    Is it possible for her to use mine as I never will?

    "Both parents have an equal separate entitlement to parental leave. Unless you and your partner work for the same employer, you can only claim your own parental leave entitlement (18 weeks per child). If you both work for the same employer and your employer agrees you may transfer 14 weeks of your parental leave entitlement to each other."

    Not sure if this refers to the one day a week kind of leave, it seems to refer more to full time leave. Anyway, it points in the direction that it's unlikely you could transfer.
