New ACAS Guidance on antenatal appointments

ACAS have been busy preparing new guides for employers, although basic in nature, they are well written and cover what you need to know.

The two guides are at the following links:

Guidance for dealing with ante-natal appointments: http://www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=5343
Guidance for small employers on dealing with pay and wages: http://www.acas.org.uk/payguide

There is also a new guide for dealing with surrogacy but as it’s a rare event, it is not included here, but is available on the ACAS web site.
