Following the Government's decision that it was not "feasible" to introduce a new statutory right to bereavement leave, Acas has published guidance on managing bereavement in the workplace. This sets out the statutory position, offers best practice, and includes a sample bereavement policy.
Acas has also published a short guide on dress codes, highlighting tattoos/body piercings and religious dress as two areas where employers need to consider their approach carefully.
