Employers will welcome updates to the Acas guidance helping them deal with employees who have suffered a bereavement.
The free updated guidance ‘Time off work for bereavement’ covers:
- Leave and pay on death.
- Death of an employee's child.
- A stillbirth or miscarriage of an employee or their partner.
- Parental bereavement leave and pay
- What to do, and how to support an employee, following a death.
- A death at work.
It includes details of the maternity and paternity leave rules for parents who have lost a pregnancy after 24 weeks, and the 2020 parental bereavement leave rules. There is also an example bereavement policy.
