Step 8 of 8

Family leave is one of the most actively reformed areas of employment law: paternity changed in 2024, neonatal care leave commenced in 2025, and further consultation on parental leave reform is live. Diary an annual policy review every April when the rates uprate, and a trigger review whenever a new commencement order touches Part 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. A policy you wrote once and never revisit becomes a liability inside two years.
