1．你要在预产期前3个月写信通知你的雇主。其中要附上一份你的医生或者MW写明你的预产期的证明信。
The letter must say:
·What type of leave you want
·When you want the leave to start, and how long the period of leave will be.
If you are sharing any part of your leave with your spouse/partner, the letter must also say:
·The dates on which you and your spouse/partner plan to start and finish each period of leave
·Your spouse/partner’s name and, if they are an employee, the name and address of their employer
·That you and your spouse/partner are both eligible for the leave you are applying for
·That the total amount of leave you and your spouse/partner are taking will not be more than 52 weeks (not counting any partner’s/paternity leave taken).
·Whether you are entitled to take parental leave, and if not, the reasons why not
·The main legal rights and obligations you have, particularly those relating to when you can start your leave
·Whether or not the job can be kept open. If it can’t, the letter should explain that you are able to dispute that, and will have preference for similar jobs for six months after the end of your parental leave.
