O governo está consultando maneiras de fornecer às famílias mais apoio e flexibilidade. A quantidade de pagamento e/ou licença que pode ser tirada
These proposals could have a significant impact on the way Birmingham employers have to budget for parental and family leave.
Family-Related Leave
In order to address gender divisions, the government is asking whether it is more beneficial to new parents to:
- increase the amount of pay and/or leave that can be taken
- pode sair de maneira flexível e não nos seis meses após o nascimento
também há uma ênfase em incentivar os pais a tirar a paternidade. que nascem prematuramente, ou bebês que nascem a termo, mas exigem atendimento especializado. Essa licença seria paga e seria além da maternidade padrão ou da paternidade. Isso pode ser alcançado, tornando obrigatório que os empregadores anunciem se um trabalho pode ser feito de maneira flexível e, se os empregadores empregarem mais de 250 pessoas, publicando suas políticas de licença e pagamento relacionadas à família.

Neo-Natal Care
This proposal is concerned with babies who are born prematurely, or babies who are born full term, but require specialist care.
The government suggests that one week’s leave should be granted for each week that the baby requires neonatal care, which would be tacked onto the end of the parent’s maternity or paternity leave.
Spouses, civil partners or partners who will be living with the mother and baby would also be entitled to take the leave. This leave would be paid and would be in addition to standard maternity or paternity pay.
Transparency Around Flexible Working
Employees, the government has argued, need to be more aware of what is available to them and their entitlement. This could be achieved by making it compulsory for employers to advertise whether a job can be done flexibly, and if employers employ over 250 people, publishing their family-related leave and pay polices.
The first consultation ends on 29 November, whereas the second and third close on 11 October.
