20%
Employees are entitled to 28 weeks of sick leave, paid at a rate of 98.85 GBP per week through statutory sick pay (however, the first three days of any sick period are unpaid). Employers can choose to supplement these standard payments with additional compensation. Medical certificates are required if a period of sick leave exceeds seven days.
Maternity leave in the UK is 52 weeks, of which at least two must be taken. Statutory maternity pay is given for the first 39 weeks at the rate of 90% of salary for the first six weeks and then either 90% of salary or 151.97 GBP per week (whichever is lower) for the subsequent 33 weeks.
Paternity leave in the UK is one or two weeks commencing from the birth date. Payment is either 90% of salary or 151.97 GBP per week (whichever is lower).
Termination processes vary according to the type of contract, reason for termination, employment agreement, and any collective agreement. Dismissals can be adjudged either fair or unfair depending on how they were conducted and justified.
Statutory notice periods in cases of redundancy are one week (if the employee has served for between one month and two years) or one week's notice for each year of service (if the employee has completed between two and twelve years of employment). Payment in lieu of notice is also an option. Dismissal without notice is only possible in cases of gross misconduct.
Only required when an employee is made redundant, severance pay amounts depend on the employee's age (assuming they have completed at least two years' service):
The UK does not have statutory probation periods, common practice is between three and six months (with the exact amount stipulated in the employment contract).
