Isle of Man’s parental leave system puts flexibility over employer-funded wages
The Isle of Man offers shared parental leave to qualified families, providing flexibility in how they manage their time off. Unlike the UK, the island's system does not include statutory maternity pay, leaving employers responsible for wages during leave. Instead, parents can claim a weekly allowance of up to £250 for up to 39 weeks. Currently, the Isle of Man does not mandate employers to pay statutory maternity leave wages, unlike the UK where businesses can recover these costs from the government. On the island, employees must apply for maternity allowance through the Social Security Division of the Treasury. Families on the Isle of Man can access shared parental leave with a weekly allowance, but employers are not required to contribute to wages. The government's position means the current system will continue, with no changes expected to statutory pay requirements. Employees will keep relying on the Treasury's allowance scheme for financial support during leave.
