BBC Radio 4 - Money Box Live, Rights and Pay for New Parents

Discussing maternity, paternity, adoption or shared parental leave and pay.

Ruth Alexander and guests discuss rights to maternity, paternity, adoption or shared parental leave and pay.

Know your rights to maternity, paternity, adoption or shared parental leave and pay? Call 03700 100 444 from 1pm and 3pm on Wednesday or email moneybox@bbc.co.uk

If you're expecting a baby or adopting, we'll have a team advisers ready to explain your employment rights and entitlement to time off and pay.

From April there are greater benefits for adoptive parents.

A new system of shared parental leave is available for some parents of babies born or adopted after the 5 April. How will it work and how much could you receive?

If you don't want to share your leave, what are your maternity and paternity rights?

Or perhaps you're returning to work and want to work flexibly, where do you stand?

Whatever your question, joining Paul Lewis to answer your questions will be:

Stewart Gee, Head of Information and Guidance, ACAS.
Will Hadwen, Rights Adviser at Working Families.
Sarah Veale, Head of Equality and Employment Rights, TUC.

Call 03700 100 444 from 1pm to 3.30pm on Wednesday or e-mail your question to moneybox@bbc.co.uk now. Standard geographic call charges apply.
