New guidance has been published on GOV.UK, providing information to employers on how to operate unpaid carer's leave.

The page covers the below topics:

  • how long employees can take off work
  • how they can take it ie, full or half days
  • when employers are able to delay carer’s leave.

Unpaid carer’s leave is coming into force from 6 April, so ensure you are comfortable with the processes, ahead of the new tax year.
