Policy Updates

Compassionate Leave Policy and Procedure #3

Human Resources Absence, Holidays and Sickness Region: | Reference: DPA13

The policy has been updated to provide further detail on the new right of Parental Bereavement Leave and when this must be provided by an employer. This policy governs what actions an employer should take in the event one of their employees suffers the death or serious injury of a close family member. It makes it clear that, except in relation to Parental Bereavement Leave, the employer has discretion to grant time off and whether this time off is paid or not. References have been reviewed and updated.
