EEF's new guide explains maternity, paternity, adoption leave and pay, including a summary of the proposals for additional paternity leave. It sets out the right to apply to work flexibly, for parents of young children and employees who are carers of certain adults, and explains how this relates to parental leave and time off for dependants.
The guide also contains a set of up-to-date policies on maternity and adoption leave, flexible working, parental leave, paternity and time off for dependants. There is also a maternity checklist, a set of 'best practice' letters and a useful maternity, paternity and adoption timeline.
