Family Leave Related Policies
Statement of Principles
As a caring employer, the Trust aims to support staff in achieving a healthy work/life balance, recognising that many staff will have family responsibilities and that all staff will have occasional need to be absent from work to attend to personal or domestic emergencies.
As separate employment legislation exists for many 'family' situations, the Trust has developed a number of separate policies as necessary.
The Trust is committed to providing support for employees and in most cases provides contractual benefits over and above the statutory provision for employees with sufficient service.
Regardless of length of service, the Trust will always take into account the circumstances of the employee when decisions about the employee's role, work, and health and safety are considered.
This statement of overarching principles applies to the following family leave related policies:
- Adoption Policy
- Flexible Working Policy
- Maternity Policy
- Non-pregnant Parent Leave Policy (Paternity Leave)
- Shared Parental Leave Policy
- Leave of Absence Policy (Special Leave)
- Neonatal Care Leave Policy
