Parents will be able to split 'maternity' leave after six months, allowing the father and mother to share the time off, Gordon Brown will announce today. At the moment mothers are allowed 12 months' maternity leave, with nine months' guaranteed pay. However, under the new scheme that will come in from April next year, the mother can decide to split some of the leave with her husband after six months. They will continue to be paid for the following three months.
