Election results 2024: What changes can employers expect?

Review of leave rights

Labour says it plans to review the parental leave system in its first year of government, consider whether the recently introduced right to carer’s leave should be a right to paid leave, and it will also introduce the right to bereavement leave for all workers.

It is not clear if its review of parental leave will include reviewing the little-used shared parental leave system and/or a review of paternity/ maternity rights as well.
