You would be better asking your employer...make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -

I think you need to start again in your research on this subject. The entitlement is 18 weeks in total until the child is aged 18, with a maximum of 4 weeks per year unless your employer agrees more.

Don’t forget you need to meet all the eligibility too.0

I would expect most companies to operate the 'year' as a 12 month rolling period.0

I would say it would be 4 weeks in a rolling year.0

I'd already read that. But wording suggests most employers would go with 4 weeks per year, and that was the basis of my question!0 -
Up to a maximum of four weeks per year. However it clearly says you can’t have more than 18 weeks up until the child is 18.0
