Notice and documentation. (a) The Company requires a statement from an adoption agency or other appropriate body of the presumed date of placement of the child for adoption purposes, or a statement from an appropriate Government authority confirming that the employee is to have custody of the child pending application for an adoption order. When the employee gets notice that the application for adoption has been approved he or she must notify the Company and within two months of getting the notice also notify the Company of the period or periods of adoption leave proposed to be taken. If the employee has received approval at the time of commencing employment with the Company the employee must notify the Company on commencing employment. (b) Ten weeks before commencing leave the employee must give the Company notice in writing of the date of starting leave and the period of leave to be taken. No later than one month before the placement takes place, the employee must give notice in writing to the Company of the proposed date of starting any period of leave to be taken at the time of the placement of the child. The employee is not in breach of this Agreement if he or she does not give the notice because of a requirement of an agency to accept earlier or later placement of a child, the death of the spouse, or other compelling circumstances.
