Benefits

We provide 26 weeks of paid parental leave, which can be taken flexibly by either parent during the 24 months after the child(ren)’s birth. There is no required service period to access the leave. This applies to stillborn birth, adoption, and surrogacy and can be taken as block leave or on a part-time basis. All family leave entitlements are inclusive of LGBTQ people, regardless of the gender of the Staff Member or their partner. This is on top of the Government’s paid parental leave provisions.

We provide five days of paid leave for early pregnancy loss and fertility treatment. Along with leave for grandparents to take around the time of birth of adoption of a grandchild with further access to unpaid leave for up to 12 months.

Whilst preparing for, undertaking and returning from extended leave, EY people are also supported by a digital parental leave platform which provides guidance and support throughout this transition.

We aim to promote a flexible work culture by assisting our people to balance their work and personal responsibilities through the availability of flexible working arrangements.

You can take advantage of a wide range of lifestyle benefits and corporate discounts from leading brands across technology, banking, travel and general and health insurances.

We support our people to volunteer one day per year, providing community organisations with valuable assistance, as well as offering our people to actively contribute to the community.
