CIPP response to BEIS consultation on parental leave and pay 2 December 2019
The CIPP has submitted its response to BEIS’s consultation document – Parental Leave and Pay: Supporting parents and achieving quality.
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) wanted to gather feedback on the topic of parental leave and pay, and how further parity between the genders could be achieved so that both mothers and fathers could care for and build strong bonds with their children. This would, in turn, hopefully remove some of the gender stereotypes attached to the allocation of childcare duties within contemporary society. The theory is that by reforming parental leave and pay in a way that allows individuals to combine their work life with childcare not only benefits individuals but also helps employers by giving them access to a wider talent pool and allowing them to retain hardworking members of staff who may wish to start a family or who plan to add to their existing family. Addressing current policies surrounding parental leave and pay may also have a positive impact on wider issues such as the gender pay gap.
Our response provided a summary of both quantitative and qualitative results taken from our electronic survey gathering responses from CIPP members and other payroll tax professionals to the consultation questions.
Key findings
• Policies and processes for Paternity Leave and Pay are confusing • The Shared Parental Leave and Pay rules are complex
