Statutory Leave in the UK

Paid and Unpaid Leave: what you must do as an employer to be compliant.

Employees are legally entitled to leave from work in a range of different circumstances. Leave can be paid or unpaid, but the differences aren’t always clear. It’s also hard to find all this information in one place and the internet is a minefield of articles and sometimes quite inaccurate information. In this document, we have set out to explain as many of the types of leave available to your employees, paid and unpaid, to help demystify the somewhat complex information out there and ensure that you remain compliant and can support your staff as effectively as possible.
