Following the Government’s publication of a bill that will enable employers to offer two weeks’ paid leave to parents who have lost a child, XpertHR is conducting a survey on bereavement leave.
Bereavement leave: a topical issue for all employers
Government publishes parental bereavement leave bill The Government has published a bill that will offer two weeks’ paid leave for bereaved parents.
Parental bereavement leave: a small step in the right direction While recognising the good intentions behind the recently published bill, consultant editor Darren Newman questions the practical value of the proposed new right to paid parental bereavement leave.
Bereavement and compassionate leave: what is the right thing to do? Facebook has announced that employees can now take up to 20 days of paid leave if an immediate family member dies.
The research looks at bereavement leave arrangements and how employers deal with bereaved employees. It also covers employer awareness of the Parental Bereavement (Leave and Pay Bill), which proposes to introduce the right to two weeks’ paid leave for bereaved parents from 2020.
