With less than 4 weeks to go until eligible parents can begin sharing up to 50 weeks parental leave and pay, many businesses are unprepared, without any policies or guidance in place.
There are thought to be 280,000 workers eligible for the new leave and, in a recent survey, one third of workers interviewed under the age of 34 expressed an interest in taking it.
These policies are difficult to draft with accuracy, even by experienced HR professionals because the regulations themselves are so complicated. Without clear guidance for staff and managers alike, your business could be left floundering if faced with a shared leave notice.
We can draft a Shared Parental Leave Policy tailored to your organisation for the fixed price of £250 + VAT at 20%.
