ACAS has published a detailed guidance note to help parents
decide whether the benefits of shared parental leave will work for
them.
The Shared Parental Leave: a good practice guide for
employers and employees, as well as to provide employers with
an understanding of their legal obligations and good practice
procedures to use in their workplace. Employers may also be
interested in reading the
technical guidance which the Department of Business Innovation
and Skills (BIS) published earlier this month.
Of course neither document gives full detail of the complex
rules nor delves into all of the ambiguities or tricky issues which
the regime throws up. If you would like to know more about
this, Clyde & Co is offering HR professionals and in-house
Counsel bespoke training on the new regime, covering its legal
background and complexities as well as an explanation of what the
changes will mean in practice. For more detail about our
training sessions, please click here.
