Statutory paternity pay under the ERB: Lucy Burrows’ article published by Employee Benefits

Statutory paternity pay under the ERB: Lucy Burrows’ article published by Employee Benefits

“Even with paternity leave available from day one of employment, the proposals compare woefully to the paternity offerings from our European neighbours. Pre-eminent House of Lords peers have pushed for amendments for better-paid rights for fathers and co-parents. We will have to watch this space as the bill returns to the Commons, but no doubt this, like so many issues, could meet with reluctance to increase the costs of the bill’s changes any further.”

Senior associate Lucy Burrows’ article on the treatment of statutory paternity pay under the Employment Rights Bill has been published by Employee Benefits. The full article can be found here.

Employee Benefits is a UK digital publication which provides HR, reward and benefits professionals with industry news, tax and legislation updates and in-depth articles on all aspects of employee reward and benefits.
