Hi there

We hope you are having a positive employment rights week.

This week we continue our series, looking in detail at the different types of paid and unpaid leave that you may be entitled to receive at work. In episode 34 of the podcast we looked at your rights and entitlement to dependents leave. In this week’s episode, we’re looking at your rights and entitlement to Unpaid Parental Leave.

Unpaid Parental Leave or Parental Leave is a type of leave that employees are entitled to, which is specifically in place to support working parents who wish to take time of or who need time off, to spend more time with their children; or, to be with their children at particular periods of time when their children might be facing changes to routines etc.

In this week’s episode we explore the entitlement rules, how the leave works and what the employer can and cannot do when you decide you want to take parental leave.

We hope you find something useful that you can work with in this week’s episode.

Hi there

I hope you are having a positive employment rights week.

This week we should have been continuing our series... looking in detail at the different types of paid and unpaid leave that you may be entitled to receive at work. However, this we’re interrupting our schedule to look at the government’s new Job Support Scheme, which is the new scheme that will replace the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, which is scheduled to come to an end on 31/10/2020.

The main thrust of the Job Support Scheme or the JSS, is to bring people back to work from furlough on shorter hours, by give employers an alternative to making workers redundant. The JSS will offer employers an opportunity to be able to pay workers for worker shorter hours across their normal weekly working hours. So in this week’s episode of the podcast, we look at the top seven key points you need to know about, to update yourself about the JSS and how the JSS works.

Thanks for listening

Hi there

In this week’s podcast episode, we continue our series, looking in detail at the different types of paid and unpaid leave that you may be entitled to receive at work. In episode 36 of the podcast, we looked at Unpaid Parental Leave.
