ACAS (the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service) is an independent public body in the UK that helps employers and employees resolve workplace issues and disputes. Their role is to provide free, impartial advice on employment rights, best practice, and workplace policies, as well as to offer services such as early conciliation to try to settle disputes before they reach an employment tribunal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c84064a6cfd976b95128d9/d2ce5770-c3df-4003-a762-977249169abc/Records.png Paveley HR Blogs - ACAS Early Conciliation Changes: Why Record-Keeping Matters More Than Ever - Documentation and record-keeping Many companies already have data retention policies in place to comply with GDPR. These are important and should be reviewed in line with employment law risks. Information which may seem “no longer necessary” from a data protection perspective could still be critical in defending a future claim. This might include emails, meeting notes, investigation records, CCTV footage, or performance documentation. https://www.paveleyhr.com/latest-news/feb26-bereavement monthly 0.5 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c84064a6cfd976b95128d9/66e66a8a-1c3a-450a-bcee-450b387609b0/Bereavement3.png Paveley HR Blogs - Bereavement Leave: Supporting People When It Matters The Most - But what does reasonable mean? There’s a lot to deal with when someone passes away. Firstly, there’s the shock of the loss, particularly if the passing was sudden or unexpected. Then there’s the funeral, registering the death, notifying people, making arrangements for money, property and other belongings – the list goes on and all this needs addressing at a time when you may just want to crawl under the duvet. Unlike statutory parental bereavement leave, there’s no set number of days for bereavement, which means employers are left to interpret what’s fair — and to set their own expectations through policy. That flexibility can be positive. But it also puts responsibility firmly on the employer to get it right. Grief can impact so many people in so many different ways. Offering a couple of days off might technically meet your legal obligation. But that doesn’t mean it reflects the reality of what someone is experiencing. When you look at the different emotions that can be experienced following a bereavement, its easy to see why time off work can be essential for most people; shock, guilt, anger, relief, sadness, emotional pain and for some physical symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, loss of appetite, feeling drainer/low energy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c84064a6cfd976b95128d9/c6a84219-8da3-45a6-8bc3-11036bdeb2b3/Bereavement4.png Paveley HR Blogs - Bereavement Leave: Supporting People When It Matters The Most - Section 57A of the Employment Rights Act 1996 may set a baseline. Good employers go further. This doesn’t mean compromising business needs or offering open-ended leave. It means recognising that grief affects people differently, and that a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach rarely works. The real question isn’t just “What does the law require?” It’s “What kind of Company do we want to be?” Bereavement policies are more than procedural documents. They’re a reflection of culture. When compassion is embedded into your approach, you support your people at their most vulnerable — and you strengthen long-term resilience across your workforce. And that’s good HR. https://www.paveleyhr.com/latest-news/april16-wsxx6-dwtzc monthly 0.5 2026-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c84064a6cfd976b95128d9/b0803871-7c72-44c2-82d1-d45b91ca8d8a/Change.jpg Paveley HR Blogs - UK Employment Law Changes 2026: What Employers Need to Know - As we head into 2026, UK employers are facing one of the biggest waves of employment law change in recent years. The first half of the year will see number of reforms come into force affecting pay, sickness absence, family leave, compliance and enforcement. These changes will need proper planning, payroll updates, manager training and clear communication with employees to avoid disruption (and unwanted surprises). Here is a practical, plain-English overview of what’s changing, what it means day to day, and how you can start preparing now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c84064a6cfd976b95128d9/37ee5e9c-2859-44cd-8116-04f635b950a0/Family.jpg Paveley HR Blogs - UK Employment Law Changes 2026: What Employers Need to Know - 2.

From April 2026 Sexual harassment will explicitly qualify as a protected disclosure under whistleblowing legislation This increases protection for employees and raises the stakes for employers who fail to respond appropriately. https://www.paveleyhr.com/latest-news/funpolice-wsxx6 monthly 0.5 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c84064a6cfd976b95128d9/1764598463199-LJCA6N99K3NUVRVFKDM3/unsplash-image-ULHxWq8reao.jpg Paveley HR Blogs - The Fun Police: Your Festive Guide to a Drama-Free Party Season - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c84064a6cfd976b95128d9/1764598507804-JJOH26G6QOO1FBC0SRB3/unsplash-image-qwEooUOLnnU.jpg Paveley HR Blogs - The Fun Police: Your Festive Guide to a Drama-Free Party Season - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c84064a6cfd976b95128d9/54f7ea19-c2db-4211-9099-499dde4677fe/unsplash-image-axS27QcZNZM.jpg Paveley HR Blogs - The Fun Police: Your Festive Guide to a Drama-Free Party Season - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.paveleyhr.com/latest-news/ai-in-the-workplacenbsp monthly 0.5 2025-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c84064a6cfd976b95128d9/05f47df8-dcd9-432f-9242-a38e28933a4c/Screenshot+2025-10-08+114938.png Paveley HR Blogs - Navigating AI In The Workplace - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c84064a6cfd976b95128d9/ac5d1bcd-8270-4643-8fab-3ec9ef3b257a/Screenshot+2025-10-23+155149.png Paveley HR Blogs - Navigating AI In The Workplace - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c84064a6cfd976b95128d9/38ca6113-2a18-4fb9-ab54-38ec2d8c17ad/Screenshot+2025-10-08+115015.png Paveley HR Blogs - Navigating AI In The Workplace - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.paveleyhr.com/latest-news/rewardandrecognition-4ahhg-24jxs monthly 0.5 2025-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c84064a6cfd976b95128d9/43515221-40aa-4e91-939a-378326a84051/Highfive.png Paveley HR Blogs - Creating a Culture of Recognition https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c84064a6cfd976b95128d9/c272e9e2-d18e-49b7-b316-ceb4029e1f3d/award.png Paveley HR Blogs - Creating a Culture of Recognition - One cap doesnt fit all. Ultimately, the most meaningful recognition stems from understanding what makes your people tick. This means: Getting to know their aspirations: Do they want to develop, lead, or specialise? Understanding their drivers: Is it flexibility, growth, security, or creative freedom? Finding out what feels motivating for them: For some, it’s public praise. For others, it’s being trusted to take on new responsibilities. https://www.paveleyhr.com/latest-news/handling-difficult-conversations-4ahhg monthly 0.5 2025-09-30
