Family Friendly Policy
The National Health Service’s North East Ambulance Service in the United Kingdom has a Family Friendly Policy that elaborates on “Family Friendly Procedures.” There may be different policy requirements regulating parental leave in the UK; however, the Policy provides a comprehensive overview of some of the considerations that organizations will need to be aware of when crafting their own family friendly policies. Different considerations are elaborated upon for paternity leave, maternity leave, shared parental leave, and adoption leave, including holiday pay, vacation time, and more. There are also procedures and processes for ending parental leave.
