As a good employer, when people in your team have caring responsibilities then you'll want to support them to balance their commitments to your business and to their family. There are some forms of time off that you are legally obliged to provide and we'll talk you through those, as well as providing tips on how to effectively manage such time off within your business:

• maternity leave and pay
• paternity leave and pay
• shared parental leave and pay
• adoptive leave and pay
• unpaid parental leave
• unpaid carer's leave
• parental bereavement leave and pay
• emergency time off to care for a dependant

We'll also talk about the new rules around job-security protections during pregnancy, during maternity/adoptive/shared parental leave and after the parent's return to work.
