MODERN WORKPLACES

摘要

In its Programme for government, the coalition government pledged to'encourage shared parenting from the earliest stages of pregnancy - including the promotion of a system of flexible parental leave.' The government has now taken this forward by launching a Modern workplaces consultation to explore proposals for the design of flexible parental leave.The proposals will look, for example, at how both parents could take leave at the same time, rather than the mother having to return to work before the father can take additional paternity leave.
