Hi there...

Before listening to this session, we want to alert you that in this week’s episode we will be having a discussion about death that is not directed at anyone in particular, but may have an effect on you that we are unaware of.  Please take this into consideration before listening to this episode and if you need support after listening to this episode, please reach out to your usual support networks.  We are also here if you need to talk.

In this week’s episode, we are talking about what happens with the mother or primary carer of your newborn baby passes away and the how the new Bereaved Partner’s Paternity Leave can help you to manage this life-changing situation. 

Breaved Partner’s Paternity Leave or BPPL, is a day one employment right... providing up to 52 weeks... of unpaid leave from 6th April 2026.  To get this leave depends on your relationship to the child and to the primary carer who passed away and depends on you taking up the main responsibility for the child's care. And if you qualify for this leave, the leave must be taken as one continuous block - within 52 weeks of the birth or adoption of the child. 

We go into much more detail about this leave, in the podcast episode. 

If you have questions about how this leave applies to your situation, reach out to us at [email protected].   And, if today's episode helped, share it with someone who needs it. 

If you have been affected by the contents of this podcast, please reach out to your support group.   

Remember, we also have detailed free downloads, grievance handbooks and grievance support and advice services available, to help you understand your position and take practical steps forward.

You can find all the links to our  books, free downloadable support tools and information about our support services all available in the show notes wherever you are listening to this podcast. Hit the live link or the ‘see more’ button and the link will take you straight to the support you need.

Finally, remember to review, follow and share the podcast - to help us get to 50 reviews and reach more people.

Until next week…

Have the best employment rights week that you can!

Bye for now.

Hi there, 

Welcome to Employment Rights Online - the podcast that keeps you one step ahead of employment changes that actually affect your working life.

Imagine starting a brand new job on a Monday morning and then finding out your partner's due date to deliver your child, is that Friday...of the same week; or, suddenly your child is ill and neither you or your partner have any leave left that you can take. What would you do? 

In this week’s episode, we discuss the new changes to Paternity Leave and Unpaid Parental Rights Leave, which help to even out the playing field for working parents. 

In next week’s episode, we look at the new Bereaved Partner Leave that has also just come onto the statute books – so remember to look out for that episode. 

It's our view, that the more you are able to acquaint yourself with your employment rights, the more your rights will act as an early warning system, which you can use to spot bad treatment or illegal treatment that you may be suffering at work.

If you do find yourself facing difficulties at work or you need help with your grievance process, we have our FREE ‘WRITE IT DOWN’ Guide and Grievance Complaints Checklist which are available to support you.  Use these guides to help you challenge unfair treatment at work. 

We also have our detailed handbook ‘Grievance Procedures: How To Use Grievance Procedures to Make Complaints and Challenge Unfair Treatment At Work’, which is available on Amazon, and will help you with your Grievance in a step by step way.  

Check out the rest of our support services below. 

Finally… remember to follow, review and share the podcast to help us get to 50 reviews and reach more people. We really do appreciate you doing this.

Until next week…

Have the best employment rights week that you can!

Bye for now.

Hi there

Welcome to Employment Rights Online - the podcast that breaks down your employment rights into bite-sized pieces of understanding. 

In this episode, we break down exactly what's coming your way for agency workers, zero hours, casual staff, bank staff and platform workers who will now fall under ‘Right To Work’ checks for the first time. We also explain a new concept called "extended liability" which will see responsibility for getting these new right to work checks correct, can stretch further up the supply chain than ever before both for workers and for substitute workers. We end with —a practical checklist of what you can do right now to protect yourself before the new rules land.

It's our view, that the more you are able to acquaint yourself with your employment rights, the more your rights will act as an early warning system, which you can use to spot bad treatment or illegal treatment that you may be suffering at work.

If you do find yourself facing difficulties at work or you need help with your grievance process, we have our FREE ‘WRITE IT DOWN’ Guide and Grievance Complaints Checklist which are available to support you.  Use these guides to help you challenge unfair treatment at work.

Hi there, 

Welcome back to Employment Rights Online -the podcast that keeps you one step ahead of the changes that actually affect your working life.

Today episode isn't about one issue - it's about four!    Four changes to UK employment law that are either already here, arriving in the next few months, or landing in 2027, and every single one of them matters to you as an employee or a worker. These changes matter because if you believe you are affected by your employer’s bad behaviour, you need to start thinking now, about how you can protect your employment rights. 

It's our view, that the more you are able to acquaint yourself with your employment rights, the more your rights will act as an early warning system, which you can use to spot bad treatment or illegal treatment that you may be suffering at work.

If you do find yourself facing difficulties at work or you need help with your grievance process, we have our FREE ‘WRITE IT DOWN’ Guide and Grievance Complaints Checklist which are available to support you.  Use these guides to help you challenge unfair treatment at work.

Hi there 

Welcome to this week’s episode of the Employment Rights Online podcast... the podcast that unpacks what's really going on in the world of work, one case at a time.

This week, we look at a case where an employee who thought he could simply search his employer’s records to find and download sensitive information about people in his own family. We look at what happened to this employee when a company audit trail revealed what he had done, and we also look at your employment rights and obligations under the Computer Misuse Act (1990) and UK GDPR and Data Protection Act (2018). 

The simple message from this week’s information, is ‘DON’T DO IT’!

If you do find yourself facing difficulties at work or you need help with your grievance process, we have our FREE ‘WRITE IT DOWN’ Bullying Guide and Grievance Complaints Checklist which are available to support you.  Use these guides to help you challenge unfair treatment at work. 

We also have our detailed handbook ‘Grievance Procedures: How To Use Grievance Procedures to Make Complaints and Challenge Unfair Treatment At Work’, which is available on Amazon, and will help you with your Grievance in a step by step way.

Hi there

Welcome to Employment Rights Online - the podcast that unpacks what's really going on in the world of work, one issue at a time.

This week, in our final back office look at the whole grievance process, we look at the grievance hearing that's supposed listen and review your grievance information fairly.  And we look at those dodgy missteps your employer could make, set against a specific backdrop of where mediation has already been tried, and has already failed. 

The concerns we are raising may be specific to a grievance, where mediation has failed - but in real terms, the points we raise could be applied to any grievance hearing you attend. 

Whatever the case, our focus is on what to look for and what to challenge. 

If you need help with your grievance process, we have our FREE ‘WRITE IT DOWN’ Bullying Guide and Grievance Complaints Checklist which are available to support you.  Use these guides to help you challenge unfair treatment at work. 

We also have our detailed handbook ‘Grievance Procedures: How To Use Grievance Procedures to Make Complaints and Challenge Unfair Treatment At Work’, which is available on Amazon, and will help you with your Grievance in a step by step way.

Hi there, 

Welcome back to Employment Rights Online - the podcast that breaks down your rights at work one issue at a time. 

Over the last couple of episodes, we've been looking at workplace mediation. What it is... how a session actually runs... and why it can sometimes repair a working relationship that's gone badly wrong. 

However, in today’s episode we're looking at the other side of that story and what happens when mediation doesn’t work and you have to work with that person you cannot stand!

Our focus is on what to do next and we’ll follow this theme through into next week’s episode – so remember to listen in to that episode. 

We have our FREE ‘WRITE IT DOWN’ Bullying Guide and Grievance Complaints Checklist which are available to support you.  Use these guides to help you challenge unfair treatment at work. 

We also have our detailed handbook ‘Grievance Procedures: How To Use Grievance Procedures to Make Complaints and Challenge Unfair Treatment At Work’, which is available on Amazon, and will help you with your Grievance in a step by step way.  

Check out the rest of our support services below. 

Finally… remember to like, review and share the podcast to help us get to 50 reviews. We really do appreciate you doing this.

Until next week…

Hi there

Last week, we looked at workplace mediation - looking at the five reasons why mediation can be a helpful way of resolving workplace disputes without going through a lengthy grievance process or an Employment Tribunal.

If you missed that episode… listen to that episode first and then come back. 

In today’s episode we're taking things one step further by walking you through what actually happens during a workplace mediation session. We look at how you can expect a mediation session to start – and how a mediation session ill likely end. 

In next week’s session we’ll look at what actually happens if mediation fails … and you then still wish to go forward with your grievance dispute – so remember to listen in for that episode. 

We have our FREE ‘WRITE IT DOWN’ Bullying Guide and Grievance Complaints Checklist which are available to support you.  Use these guides to help you challenge unfair treatment at work. 

We also have our detailed handbook ‘Grievance Procedures: How To Use Grievance Procedures to Make Complaints and Challenge Unfair Treatment At Work’, which is available on Amazon, and will help you with your Grievance in a step by step way.  

Check out the rest of our support services below.

Hi there..

Welcome to Employment Rights Online... the podcast that breaks down your rights at work - one issue at a time. 

This week we're talking about workplace mediation - what it is, when it works best, and how it might just save you months of stress. We also take you through the five key things you need to know about mediation, so you can give this form of dispute resolution, a serious consideration, if you are sitting in the middle of an unhealthy dispute situation at work. 

If this episode has helped you understand the benefits of workplace mediation,  please share it with someone else who would benefit from listening to the episode.  And if you have been affected by a workplace dispute and your employer is not taking your concerns seriously, please do not just put up with it.
