I understand it is a requirement to give 2 weeks notice prior to taking a parental leave. If there is an urgent / emergency need to be off immediately is there away to circumvent the notice period and be home to assist immediately? If yes how?

We would need to discuss this with you in more detail. There are many different type of family, emergency and medical leaves that can be taken. Your employer should be understanding in such circumstances, provided you can provide proof of the urgency of the leave. Please give us a call at the number below.
