As an employer yourself, you may wish to familiarise yourself with Keep In Touch (KIT) days, which are one form of these tools. While you do not have to offer KIT days to your employees, if you choose to do so, there are certain points you should bear in mind to minimise the risk of an employee making an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/employment\/face-employment-tribunal-claim\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">employment claim<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> against your business.This article will explain what you, as an employer, need to know about KIT days for employees on maternity leave in England.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What is a Keeping in Touch Day?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keeping In Touch (KIT) days are days when an employee taking <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/employment\/maternity-leave\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">maternity leave<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can undertake work for you as their employer. Importantly, KIT days do not bring the employee\u2019s maternity period to an automatic end. Their purpose is to encourage communication and continuity between you and your employee. It also gives your employee a chance to familiarise themselves with any changes you have implemented in the workplace since they took their maternity leave.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As an employer, you have broad flexibility to determine what sort of work eligible employees can undertake as part of a KIT day. Some common examples include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">attending a conference or team training; and\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">consulting on certain aspects of an ongoing project.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the purpose of KIT days is to foster communication, you should work with your employee to devise productive KIT days.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How Many Keeping in Touch Days Can an Employee Take?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The law permits an employee to take up to 10 working days as KIT days without bringing their maternity leave period to an end. However, you are not under any obligation to offer any KIT days. You likewise may choose to only provide one or two KIT days. Similarly, you cannot obligate an employee taking their maternity leave entitlement to take a KIT day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your employee can take their keeping in touch days and shared parental leave in touch days:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">at any point during their time on maternity or adoption leave except for during the compulsory maternity leave period;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">during the shared parental leave period;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">whilst on paid leave;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">whilst on unpaid leave<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">consecutively; or\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">non-consecutively.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Any period worked during a single KIT day counts as a whole day. For example, if your employee attends a two-hour training session and nothing else, this counts as a single KIT day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An employee cannot take a KIT day during their mandatory two-week period following the birth of their child. If your employee is engaged in factory work, this mandatory period is extended for an additional two weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">KIT days are separate from your employee\u2019s entitlement to Shared Parental Leave in touch days (SPLIT) and other <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/employment\/parental-leave-rights\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">parental leave entitlement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. This is in addition to their keeping-in-touch days and can be up to an extra 20 days for each parent. If you and your employee agree they will take these days, they also do not bring their maternity pay and leave to an end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<a href=\"#content-next\"\n   class=\"block

What is essential is that:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">you both agree on what this is before deciding to have keeping-in-touch days; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">it is something that your employee usually does as part of their employment contract.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You also need to agree on what you will pay your employee on a KIT day, and this must not fall below the National Minimum Wage. When you decide on this, you must not include their Statutory Maternity Pay as part of the pay assessed for any KIT day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Separately, you and your employee will need to agree on where the KIT day takes place. For instance, it might be at your usual workplace or your employee&#8217;s residence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Further Considerations<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During your employee\u2019s maternity leave, you have a legal entitlement to make reasonable contact with them. This could be to:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">discuss work with your employee but not for them to engage in it; or<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">allow your employee to bring their baby to work to show colleagues.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This type of reasonable contact is not counted as a KIT day or a Shared Parental Leave in touch day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Key Takeaways<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As an employer, the law encourages you to stay in touch with your employees on maternity leave. This fosters employee-employer relationships and aids the employee\u2019s reintegration back into the workplace when they return. Keeping In Touch (KIT) days are one such tool you and your employee can voluntarily arrange. You are not obligated to offer any KIT days, nor can you compel an employee to take any KIT days. You and your employee are free to arrange the activities of the KIT day. Common examples include training days or attending a conference. KIT days differ from other maternity entitlements. An employee can take up to ten KIT days without automatically ending their maternity leave. You are permitted to make occasional reasonable contact, which is not a KIT day.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you need help understanding keeping in touch days for employees on maternity or adoption leave in England, our experienced\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/employment-lawyers-lp\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">employment lawyers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can assist as part of our LegalVision membership.
