- It is up to you to decide when you want to inform your employer that you are going to become a parent, but you must do so at least two months before the start of your parental leave. SULF recommends that you have a planning dialogue with your immediate manager to plan r your parental leave and how your work is to be covered in your absence. This dialogue should also include a discussion of how you can maintain contact with your workplace during your leave and how the return to work should be organised. It is important that you do not lose skills so that you can continue to have good salary and career development.
  
  It is also a good idea to establish a “contract” with your manager. This contract does not have legal bearing but can provide support and guidance for both you and your manager and help to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
  
  More information about rules regarding parental leave can be found here.
  
  If you are a member of SULF you can log in to My pages. Under the Handböcker tab you will find a pdf entitled Advice for your parental leave.
  
  If you have any specific questions regarding parental leave, you are welcome to contact the SULF members’ helpline.
