STATUTORY CARER'S LEAVE

Statutory Carer's Leave entitles an employee to unpaid leave to give or arrange care for a 'dependant' who has:

• a physical or mental illness or injury that means they're expected to need care for more than 3 months;
• a disability as defined in the Equality Act 2010; or
• care needs because of their old age.
