2.7. Carers’ Policy – Template (Preview)
This is a preview lesson. Please sign up for the course to access all lessons.
This template has been created to support employers who wish to put in place a Carers’ Policy to support employees with a caring role in their workforce. We know that the needs of employers are varied so the template below provides best practice options.
You can use this template as a menu and choose and adapt supportive and helpful practices to suit your organisation and your policies and procedures.
As an employer you can be more flexible than the law says, so for example, you could allow an employee to be eligible to make a flexible working request before they have completed 26 weeks of employment.
For more tips and ideas please see the Best Practice Topic.
