Leave arrangements

You'll have the opportunity to purchase up to six weeks extra leave. This provides you with more time for study, family or other personal pursuits.

Paid parental leave

You’re entitled to 14 weeks paid parental leave if you have been with EY for less than five years and 18 weeks paid parental leave if you have been with the firm for five years or more. This is on top of the Government’s paid parental leave provisions. This paid leave benefit can be taken on a part-time/flexible basis. Parental Leave Mentoring is available to all EY staff taking parental leave, as is Grace Papers, a digital parental leave platform which provides guidance to EY parents and managers on navigating the transition back to work.

Flexibility

We want to provide our people with greater freedom to choose the flexibility that works for them, their teams and their clients, creating an agile workplace culture that can meet the changing needs of the global workplace. Many of our people model the new way of working, where formal or informal flexibility is adopted in order to balance work and personal responsibilities.
