Balancing Work and Home Commitments
We recognise that there are many commitments outside of work and we have a
series of policies that help you to balance the needs of work and home. These
include:
Maternity Leave
All Mums-to-be are entitled to receive 26 weeks maternity leave and depending
on your length of service, a further 26 weeks of unpaid leave. Reasonable time
off is also given for antenatal appointments.
Paternity Leave
All new Dads are entitled to take 2 weeks paid leave to spend with their
partner at the time of the birth.
Parental Leave
All Mums and Dads of children under the age of 5 may take between 1 and 4 weeks
off per year to spend with their child.
Adoption Leave
If you are adopting a child, CCCS will provide the same benefits as for
Maternity Leave, thereby giving you up to 1 years leave to spend with your
child.
Emergency Family Leave
In the event of a family emergency such as unavailable childcare, CCCS provides
you with reasonable time off in order to make alternative arrangements.
Career Breaks
Once you have been with CCCS for 3 years you can apply to take a career break
of up to 1 year to pursue other activities, such as to extend your maternity
leave, undertake additional studies, travel, etc.
Changing Working Hours
At CCCS we recognise that personal circumstances change over time and that your
working hours conflict with other commitments. We will endeavour to be flexible
regarding your hours to accommodate your personal situation and the needs of
the business.
