Are you ready for the new maternity and paternity rules?

Are your managers aware that from April 2015 new legislation will allow parents to convert maternity leave and pay into shared parental leave and pay? Did you know that the TUC have published two easy to understand booklets that explain the changes?

The TUC have published booklets that explain who is entitled to the new rights and how these work. You can download the booklet 'Leave and Pay for Mothers' here.
