Unpack the Holidays Act: The Curly Side of Bereavement Leave
Bereavement leave isn’t always top of mind when we think about employee entitlements. It tends to fly under the radar, only becoming relevant during deeply emotional and often difficult times. But just because it’s not as frequently discussed as other types of leave doesn’t mean it’s without its challenges. In fact, what might seem straightforward on the surface can quickly become tricky when real-life complexities arise. Whether it’s determining eligibility, understanding cultural differences around grief, or dealing with sensitive situations of misuse - there’s more to navigate than you might expect.
In this back to basics episode, host Sanam takes you through everything you need to know about bereavement leave, from the essentials to the more nuanced issues.
This episode covers:
Eligibility and bereavement leave entitlement
Employer obligations
Payment of bereavement leave
Other types of bereavements
Misuse of bereavement leave and requesting proof
Upcoming Holidays Act changes to bereavement leave
From understanding the basics to processing payments correctly, and even addressing those tough conversations around misuse, Sanam has got you covered. Tune in for practical tips and insights that can make a challenging time easier for both you and your employees.
