Introduction

This training explains the right to carer's leave and aims to guide managers on dealing with employees who take this type of leave.

It should be noted that the rights and duties discussed in this training are the minimum statutory rights and duties. Individual employers may offer their employees contractual entitlements over and above the minimum statutory rights. Employees' contractual terms may therefore be the source of further rights and duties that you will be required to take into account.
