Leave

Holidays and keeping your business working

Holidays form an important part of the working year: important for employees because they give them the chance to recharge batteries

Managing sick leave

Staff absences can be disruptive and costly, which is why many employers have policies and systems in place to minimise the impact of sick leave.

Maternity and paternity leave

Any female employee who becomes pregnant can take 52 weeks of statutory maternity leave.
