Carers Leave Act - 6th April 2024
The Carer’s Leave Act 2023 came into force on 6 April 2024.
The Carer’s Leave Act 2023 is ground-breaking legislation that will give employees who are unpaid carers up to one week’s unpaid leave from work a year in support of their caring responsibilities.
The Carers Leave Act 2023 states that to be entitled to the provision, employees need to be providing long term care – the definition of which is clearly set out in the law - and that the appropriate notice period is given by the employee.
