S1E40 - Handling Employee Bereavement

Losing someone you love is never easy. It is important to ensure that you allow employees an appropriate amount of time off work to grieve. But how much time off is permitted? What can employers do to ease the effects of bereavement?

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

• the old legal framework 
• the new statutory right to time off for bereavement 
• helping with the effects of bereavement 
• return to work 
• discrimination
