Parental Bereavement Pay and Leave

The Parental Bereavement (Pay and Leave) Bill 2017 was introduced into the House of Commons in July 2017. Under the bill, employed parents who have lost a child would be entitled to statutory paid leave to allow them time to grieve away from the workplace.

 

Although this is a private members’ bill, it is supported by the government and meets a Conservative manifesto commitment.
