In preparation for the forthcoming family friendly changes to legislation, the Government has issued two forms of guidance on shared parental leave.
The first is for employers and explains the changes which will take effect for babies due to be born on or after 1st October 2015 and is a guide for employers. You can read this here. The second is a more technical guide for employers which goes into more detail summarising how it will operate, answering frequently asked questions and giving worked examples. The technical guide can be found here.
Employers need to consider these documents or take advice and amend any existing policies to cover these forthcoming changes.
