Employees have a right to up to a week off work in any 12-month period to provide or arrange for care for a qualifying dependant who needs long-term care. This is known as carer's leave.
You can use this policy to make everyone aware of the rules around carer's leave. It sets out:
- Information about the policy, including who it's for, its purpose and scope, and how it'll be communicated and implemented
- Who qualifies for carer's leave
- How an employee's entitlement (i.e. a 'week') is calculated
- How employees can request carer's leave
- How you may sometimes have to defer the start date of carer's leave
- Your employees' contractual rights and benefits when on carer's leave (including rights when returning to work)
- The consequences of breaching the policy (e.g. claiming carer's leave dishonestly).
