Without the use of HR & Compliance Centre, it would have cost us a lot of money in terms of needing to source legal assistance to ensure that the policies are legally binding and fully up to date.

Policy of the week

We have published a new Bereaved partner's paternity leave policy (draft). The example wording in this policy reflects reforms that will be introduced by the Paternity Leave (Bereavement) Act 2024 and the draft Bereaved Partner's Paternity Leave Regulations 2026. If these Regulations are approved, they will provide a new right for eligible employees to take up to 52 weeks of bereaved partner’s paternity leave from 6 April 2026. With only one month left until these new employment rights could come into effect, employers should start considering their impact and how to integrate them into their policies.
