Everything you need to know about Family Friendly rights

There are many employment rights that come under the banner of 'family friendly'. These are generally rights associated with time off for matters relating to dependents (children or other dependents) or where an employee may be caring for someone or related to flexible working.

In this section

Family Friendly rights are set out in legislation. In this section we give a step by step guide to each of the 'family friendly' rights.

There are also policy documents available on each of these, and many have an 'application' process. All these documents (policies and application forms) are available, together with template letters for employees. 

You should also maintain communication with any employees who are off work for family friendly related reasons. This would include keeping them informed of any significant changes in the business, advising them of vacancies or other matters.
