Maternity Leave letter
Hi
I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a template you can download to assist in writing my letter to my employers stating my intended maternity leave date? I am not sure where to start and wondered do I put in there if I intend to take leave first and included that date? Also do I state when I would like my leave for next year? Do I need to give an approximate return date at this point too?
Any tips would be great.
Thanks,

Thanks for your replies. i work for a small employer so there isn't any standard forms or an HR dept. I am just meant to write a letter. I will have a look at the direct gov website.
Thanks again,

This breaks down all your dates, entitlement and give you a letter. I modified mine a bit to include about taking annual leave before mat leave started but it's quite good as a base.

I am writing to confirm that I am pregnant and that my expected week of childbirth (EWC) is the week beginning **/**/****.
I would like to take my * remaining days annual leave from the **/**/**** (inclusive) and then start my Statutory Maternity leave and pay to commence from **/**/**** for a total of 39 weeks.
Please find enclosed with this letter, my original certificate of Expected Childbirth (MAT B1) confirming my Expected Due Date (EDD) of **/**/****.
I will notify you 28 days in advance, should I wish you make any changes to the above agreement.
Yours Sincerely
