Qualifying employees with children born on or after 6 April 2025 who receive at least a full week of neonatal care within the first 28 days have a right to up to 12 weeks' time off work (and statutory pay).
You can use this policy to make your workforce aware of your rules and procedures for taking neonatal care leave and receiving statutory neonatal care pay. It sets out:
- Information about the policy, including who it's for, its purpose and scope, and how it'll be communicated and implemented
- How employees qualify for leave and pay
- What the entitlement is
- What information employees need to give you
- How employees can take or cancel the leave, and when they need to tell you
- What happens in special circumstances (e.g. if the child dies)
- Your employees' contractual rights and benefits when leave (including rights when returning to work)
- The consequences of breaching the policy (e.g. claiming leave dishonestly).
