[As Introduced]
A
BILL

This bill would give UK workers the legal right to take paid time off work when a close family member or loved one dies. Currently, there's no legal requirement for employers to give bereavement leave, so this bill would create a new right to help grieving employees.

Presented by Patricia Gibson.
