    We endeavour to make an initial response to all enquiries within 24 hours but please be aware that on some occasions due to prior commitments or volume of calls we will not be able to respond in that time frame. We also operate a 48 hour return policy. This return policy means that if we have not responded with 48 hours of your initial enquiry we are unable to do so due to current workloads and we will destroy your data accordingly. This policy ensures you are not left waiting and have the certainty that your data is not compromised. In most instances however we are able to make contact within a 24 hour time frame. Please note our free initial advice service is available to clients at our total discretion and if your case is of a complex nature we may not be able to offer you a free consultation. However in these instances we will advise you what the charge would be for an initial fixed fee consultation.

ACAS has issued guidance on the new shared parental leave arrangements coming into force in December 2014 for babies due on or after 5th April 2015 where the parents meet the eligibility criteria.

The guidance is comprehensive and covers best practice as well as some template letters and policies for employers to use. As always bespoke policies are recommended but the guidance and templates should give employers a better understanding of their obligations and the employee’s rights.
