Employing Parents: The New Rights
back to course list
Parents of all kinds have increasing rights in the workplace when it comes to taking leave. From adoption leave, to dependants leave, to increasingly long maternity and paternity leave, it can seem as if a bewildering range of rights exist for parents. Add to this the right to request Flexible working and the often misunderstood implications for Sex Discrimination and Sexual Orientation Discrimination and you have a system just waiting for someone to get something wrong.
This practical one-day programme is designed to explore the options under the new regulations and discuss the best way to manage parents in the workplace.
