Respond to the notification of the death of a worker
Key points
An employer that is notified of the death of a worker must deal sensitively with the worker's family and colleagues, while managing the practicalities arising as a result of the death.
The employer should consider how to inform colleagues and external contacts that the worker has died.
It should ensure that it deals efficiently with practical aspects including the worker's final salary payment and any other payments due, such as under a pension scheme or life assurance scheme.
