Webinar:

Statutory neonatal care leave - how employers can prepare

The introduction of a legal right for parents to take additional time off if their child requires neonatal care is a huge step forward for family-related employment rights. Are you prepared for the new legal right to neonatal care leave, which will be available to parents of children born on or after 6 April 2025?

To help HR professionals to prepare for the new right, Brightmine editors Zeba Sayed and Stephen Simpson will guide you through how this new type of statutory leave will operate in practice and the impact it will have on how employers support the parents of premature or ill babies.

They will explain:

  • who is eligible for neonatal care leave and pay;
  • the notice requirements to take neonatal care leave;
  • the length and timing of neonatal care leave; and
  • what process employers must put in place for employees to take neonatal care leave.

This 45-minute webinar includes a Q&A session.

When: 11am Greenwich Mean Time, Thursday, 27th February 2025

Duration: 45 minutes

Speakers:

  • Stephen Simpson, Principal HR Strategy and Practice Editor
  • Zeba Sayed, Senior Legal Editor
