Starting on 6 April 2025, businesses in the UK must comply with a new requirement to provide neonatal care leave, allowing employees to take up to 12 weeks off work if their baby needs to be hospitalized. This law aims to support the estimated 60,000 parents affected annually, relieving financial and emotional stress. Employers need to ensure they adjust their policies accordingly and prepare for new statutory neonatal care pay. This move not only fosters a supportive workplace culture but also enhances employee retention during critical family moments.
From 6 April 2025, parents in the UK will have the right to 12 weeks of neonatal care leave if their baby is admitted to hospital for serious health issues.
The introduction of neonatal care leave is a significant advance for employee rights, allowing better support for parents during distressing times.
