Supporting Our People: Enhanced Maternity and Paternity Policies
Supporting Our People: Enhanced Maternity and Paternity Policies
At Omnia, our people are at the heart of everything we do and that means supporting them not only in their careers but also in their work-life balance. We’re proud to introduce our newly enhanced maternity and paternity benefits, designed to give families the time, stability, and flexibility they need during life’s biggest milestones.
We are a SME providing geo-environmental, geotechnical, acoustic and air quality consultancy across the UK. Our teams of consultants, as well as all business support staff, are eligible for the enhanced maternity and paternity pay if they have at least 30 months of service by the end of the 15th week before the child is expected to be born.
Enhanced Maternity Pay
Our Enhanced Maternity Pay offers significantly more support than the statutory minimum, giving new parents greater financial security and peace of mind during their leave.
Eligible employees can now receive:
- 10 weeks at 100% pay
- 8 weeks at 75% pay
- 8 weeks at 50% pay
- 13 weeks Statutory Maternity Pay
This is followed by an optional phased return period of 13 weeks parttime before resuming contracted hours. Flexible work requests are also available to our employees when they return from maternity leave.
This means up to 39 weeks of paid support, reinforcing our commitment to supporting longterm wellbeing. This places Omnia, an SME, amongst some of the top companies for maternity pay.

Enhanced Paternity Pay
We’re equally proud to offer one of the strongest paternity packages in our sector. Eligible employees are entitled to:
- Up to 3 weeks at full pay, plus
- 1 week at statutory pay, totalling 4 weeks of paid paternity leave
This enhanced structure gives partners the opportunity to be fully present during the earliest days with their growing family, something we believe should be accessible to all parents. The four weeks can be taken in weekly chunks, returning to work in between weeks, or as four consecutive weeks, whatever works best for our employees!

Our Benefits Package
These enhanced policies sit within a broader package of benefits that our employees can receive. Together, these form a comprehensive employment offering we’re continually refining based on employee feedback and industry benchmarking.
