The new act is expected to come into force in April 2025 and will implement paid leave to support families with premature or “full term sick babies” in neonatal care.
West Dunbartonshire Council could follow in the footsteps of Glasgow by bringing in neonatal paid support plans for its staff ahead of 2025.
The policy looks to implement paid leave to support families with premature or “full term sick babies” in neonatal care.Last week Glasgow confirmed it would take the necessary steps to ensure paid leave is offered to workers within the next 18 months meaning city council staff will be able to take up to 12 weeks of paid leave depending on the length of time their baby is in neonatal care.
A council spokesperson said: “The council is committed to offering a supportive environment for employees, and this includes a number of policies which are in place to offer reassurance and compassion during significant life events.
