Time for parents to grieve


Under a proposed law, employed parents who lose a child under the age of 18 will have the right to two weeks’ paid leave to allow them time to grieve.


The Parental Bereavement (Pay and Leave) Bill, introduced by Kevin Hollinrake MP and supported by the government, will give a day-one right to parental bereavement leave and employees with a minimum of 26 weeks’ continuous service will be eligible for statutory parental bereavement pay.
