Employers need to be aware of these changes, which extend to family leave rights, redundancy protection, tribunal compensation award limits, minimum wage and pay for statutory leave, and update staff policies and handbooks accordingly.
In this episode, Christine Young and Anna Henderson discuss the changes to various family leave rights and changes to flexible work request regime, and suggest best next steps for employers.
