Government response to bereavement leave consultation sets out details

In this latest Indicator HR and Employment Law podcast, we look at the government’s plans for the new statutory bereavement leave right coming into force in April 2027.

This episode covers who will be eligible, how the right will apply to pregnancy loss, how much unpaid bereavement leave employees can take, and the notice requirements employers need to be aware of.
