Take part in our latest readers’ poll on a current topical issue. Earlier this month, Employee Benefits reported that recruitment firm Hays introduced one week of paid carer’s leave in order to support its UK and Ireland staff with caring responsibilities.
The aim of the policy was to go beyond the government’s introduction of one week of unpaid carer’s leave per year, which came into place in April.
In light of this, do you think the introduction of one week of unpaid carer’s leave per year goes far enough to support employees?
