Quick, professional and friendly!

My application was handled so quickly and professionally, Hannah made sure I was happy with all the dates and information before she sent me through the paperwork. She made everything very clear and easy for me. This service has given me an extra month worth of full pay which will be so useful during my leave.

Excellent company with quick and easy communication

I have now used this company twice and I cannot thank them enough. They have made the whole process very easy with excellent communication and quick responses. They have explained everything clearly and simply. I have recommended them to my other friends and they have had excellent experiences too. It is a great way to get Shared Parental Leave and this company just make it effortless.

Good service but doesn't estimate take home pay.

They provide a great service for someone with an awkward employer or who wants reassurance. However, the calculations you can do yourself using chat GTP and they are more accurate as they will estimate your take home after tax.
Depending on when your baby is due this service will be very useful, but for me, only one option was provided.
Baby is due anyday and I have started my maternity leave now so waiting for paperwork to be drafted.

Reply from Teacher's SPL

Hi Rachel,

Our website offers everything you need to apply for SPL yourself free of charge- it always has done. Our support service is about planning SPL and drafting legal paperwork for it, the pay estimate is a guide to help with this. Given most payroll companies won't provide net pay estimates prior to the salary going out we would always urge caution with any estimate from AI. We don't provide net pay estimates, it would require too much personal information about your financial year to date and it is not the purpose of our service. We have never claimed to offer this service.
We are still waiting for you to get back in touch with us following our most recent email, with regard to the drafting of your paperwork- a key part of the service that was signed up for.

TSPL were brilliant

TSPL were brilliant. Alexandra gave me advice when it was needed and made the whole process super simple. They were quick and efficient given that I was late applying and only had 10 days to get my first block in. I would highly recommend. My £70 investment means I am getting thousands back in extra pay during my maternity leave. Because of how the holidays land it also means I will only have three weeks of unpaid leave my whole year off. Incredible. Thanks so much.

Reliable & extremely helpful

Everyone at Teacher’s SPL were really helpful and supportive providing advice on not just the process but also on approaching conversations with HR. Responses were always quick and everyone I spoke to was always really knowledgeable about the processes. Having looked at the paperwork myself and finding it complicated and overwhelming Teacher’s SPL took the stress out of the process and I saw the small fee as an investment in my maternity leave with what I have now gained financially.

An extra 9 weeks full pay during mat leave

I paid for the last minute service a couple of days before the deadline to apply for SPL for the Easter holidays. Kinza was fantastic and helped me to complete my application so quickly, literally within a couple of hours! The support of Teacher’s SPL helped me to get 9 weeks full pay during my maternity leave. The service is great value for money and makes the process so much easier when you have a new baby to care for.

Absolutely amazing service

Absolutely amazing service. Really quick to answer my initial request and then answered all my follow up questions promptly. The man who helped me also recalculated for me because I wasn't sure which return date I wanted. Literally given me thousands back into my wages.

Excellent investment

Teachers SPL service was a fantastic investment in gaining me over a month of additional full pay and saving me a lot of time in completing the forms and fretting over wording to HR. Kinza is very efficient with responses and has great attention to detail. Very pleased with the service and would absolutely recommend to others.

I cannot recommend this enough…

I cannot recommend this service enough - it isn't advertised as much as it should be in schools but any teacher would be foolish not to use this service. For a small fee we had multiple forward and backward emails with the amazing Claire who was more than helpful and guided us through the whole application and continued to help with questions we had later down the line. Don't question doing this service, just do it.

Would highly recommend, support offered throughout

A really easy to use service from start to finish. Kinza was so knowledgeable and answered all the questions we had with ease. We were really happy wit the level of support offered even after the plan was agreed and paperwork sent to our employers. It completely took all the stress out of having to navigate the process on your own.

Great communication and speedy

I was really struggling with completing the forms. Great communication and completed forms very quickly. If I'd have completed them myself I wouldn't have got anywhere near as much money during maternity leave. Completely worth it, would highly recommend.
