Where two parents of the same child work in the same school, it is possible to transfer 14 of the 26 weeks of parental leave to the other parent. In this situation, one parent may avail of 40 weeks and the other 12 weeks.
If parents do not have the same employer, parental leave may not be transferred. There are a number of issues which teachers and schools considering such an arrangement should be aware of before applying or approving parental leave in this pattern. If a teacher has children under thirteen, they may have parental leave to take. This must be requested in minimum blocks of seven days. Some teachers apply to take their parental leave every second week, creating an arrangement akin to undertaking a job share.
The substitute who is covering for this pair of teachers may then be allocated to another single class, at the discretion of the Principal. If a teacher is applying to use parental leave every second week, they are still a full-time employee and will receive their full-time rate of pay for any periods when not taking parental leave i. A teacher in a job share for the year will be off salary for the equivalent of twenty-six weeks. A teacher using parental leave every second week will be off salary for approximately twenty weeks subject to the school calendar.
When a job share is approved, a fixed-term position may be filled for the duration of the job share, from 1 September to the following 31 August. When a teacher is absent on parental leave, their absences will be filled by a substitute teacher. In this pattern, a substitute teacher will be required every second week. If two teachers have paired up to request their parental leave on alternating weeks, two concurrent substitute vacancies are created, which — if the teachers have been meticulous with their parental leave applications — may provide a full year of substitute employment.
However, a fixed-term position is likely to be more attractive and more straightforward to fill, ensuring that pupils have one teacher consistently employed for the year. Furthermore, the job share scheme clearly provides a framework for teachers and schools in areas like Croke Park hours, parent-teacher meetings, leave in lieu for attendance at in-service training, and posts of responsibility. No similar guidance exists for pairs of teachers availing of their parental leave.
