Loop HR

As a salon management platform focused on people, we’re committed to empowering managers with the insights they need to understand and meet their team’s needs, helping every employee perform at their best. In our latest blog, we delve into why the salon industry is often classed as a low-pay sector, and explore practical steps we can all take to change that perception. Read on to learn more about how we can elevate standards together.

Following on from our announcement of a new Maternity Leave feature, the government has announced in their Budget, several employment rights changes, which will impact maternity leave protections and working conditions for parents. The government committed to strengthening protections for pregnant women and new mothers by establishing a period of immunity from dismissal, covering pregnancy, maternity leave, and six months after returning to work. This aims to protect against redundancy and dismissal at a vulnerable time for mothers. Additionally, flexible working is set to become the default, making it easier for new parents to balance work and family responsibilities. These initiatives are part of a broader Employment Rights Bill aimed at enhancing workplace protections, increasing economic security, and reducing discriminatory practices in the workforce. At Loop HR, we provide the infrastructure to manage all UK Government employment laws. Here we share the latest ways to manage Maternity Leave: https://lnkd.in/dWMx7CCc
