1. is it possible to take parental leave to decrease my hours? as in the current climate i dont really want to give up hours I may want in the future.
2.Also i know there is a maximum amount u are allowed to earn. it this gross or net pay?
thanks

thanks for the reply.
at the moment i work 35 hrs one week and off second week but i am changing to 3 day week/ 2 day week after xmas so was going to take 1 day parental leave on the 3 day week so this would bring me down to 14 hrs per week.
