In this episode 247 of the podcast I explore the new law concerning neonatal care leave and pay – a new statutory right designed to support parents whose babies require neonatal care after birth.

We cover the key points employers, employees and HR professionals need to know, including:

• What neonatal care leave is and who will be eligible
• How the statutory leave and pay will work in practice
• The qualifying conditions for employees
• The likely impact on employers and pay requirements
• Practical steps to prepare for the new legislation
