Flexible working and policies

While we don't consider our flexible and agile working practices and family policies as a "benefit", we view them more as a part of our culture. Many of our people believe this to be a huge benefit working at Grant Thornton.

The time you spend outside of work helps shape what you can bring to our firm. We value the commitments you may have outside of work and to demonstrate this, all of our people have an immediate right to request a flexible working arrangement under our flexible working policy.

Our policies

How we do things is just as important as what we do. We trust and empower our people and expect them to use their judgment to make intentional decisions that drive our business forwards. If you’re high performing, responsible and dedicated you’ll be treated as such, and our culture of two-way flexibility allows you to thrive inside and outside of work.  We encourage our people to explore, within their teams, how they can work in an agile way which allows them to be at their best, deliver high-quality work and meet their responsibilities in and outside of work.

Our adoption (including surrogacy) and maternity leave policies are designed to provide flexibility and confidence for our parents and families 

Our policies offer our people: 

  • 52 weeks leave and 39 weeks statutory pay
  • a family leave allowance (FLA) equivalent to 24 weeks pay (inclusive of statutory pay)
  • flexibility to decide how to receive FLA throughout adoption/maternity leave
  • option to transfer up to four weeks of FLA into shared parental leave. 

We understand that juggling caring commitments whilst working can be tough. Our how we work policy and flexible working policy can help you balance things, but we recognise occasionally you may need more time to care for those reliant on you. We want to support you during those times when you’re really up against it, which is why we provide up to 5 days paid carers leave per calendar year.  

Our parental leave policy enables parents to take up to four weeks unpaid parental leave per year, per child. We’ve removed the statutory length of service criteria so all parents can access this policy on joining the firm. Don't confuse this with any leave taken following the arrival of a new child that would count as maternity, paternity or adoption leave.

Paternity leave enables non childbearing parents to spend some time with their new family. 

Our policy offers our people: 

  • ability to take up to six weeks paternity leave at full pay or a maximum of 12 weeks paternity leave at half pay (inclusive of statutory pay)
  • the flexibility to split paternity leave into up to three separate instances in the first year.  

Under shared parental leave, the mother or primary adopter can decide to share up to 50 weeks leave and 37 weeks statutory pay with their partner. Our policy also enables parents to take leave together, at the same time.

Our policy offers our people:

  • four weeks family leave pay (FLP), equivalent to four weeks gross pay
  • flexibility to decide how to receive FLP during shared parental leave.
