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

The Government has confirmed, in Implementing the Employment Rights Bill: Our roadmap for delivering change, that statutory bereavement leave is expected to take effect in 2027. As the law currently stands, bereavement leave is available only to parents who have lost a child, including parents who suffer a stillbirth after 24 weeks of pregnancy. It is good practice for employers to have a Parental bereavement leave policy, to set out how this type of leave works in practice.
