How could this change how parents take leave? How much does it cost to go out these days? GUEST: Garnett Genuis - Conservative MP for Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Shadow Minister for Employment

The cost of having or raising a child is often the most considered issue among couples planning to start or grow their family. It's not just the shopping trips for prams and cots and nappies - it's the income loss over the months of parental leave and the endless sick days once daycare starts up. Plunket estimates a medium-budget cost for raising a child for the first year comes to just under $16,000. That works out to a whole lot of sacrifice.

In this episode 259 of the employment law and HR podcast, we delve into some of the detail of the forthcoming changes under the Employment Rights Act 2025. In this episode I am covering the key changes taking place from April 2026. In this episode we cover: Changes to Paternity Leave Paternity Leave will become a day 1 right for all employees Statutory paternity pay will still have the qualifying period of 26 weeks Unpaid Parental Leave will become a day 1 right The requirement for all employers to keep holiday records for 6 years All employers need to keep records of annual leave entitlement and time taken off Employers also need to keep records of how much an employee is paid when they take holiday Why it is important to reconsider how you hold holiday records The new Fair Work Agency The risks to employers in terms of penalties and reputation if the Fair Work Agency intervene Changes to Statutory Sick Pay The impact on employers of the new SSP rules Why managers need to be aware and to tighten up the management of short term regular sickness absence Why it is important to start taking action now to get ready for the new law. Key takeaway: Employers need to start taking action now to educate and empower managers to proactively manage employees for success.  You need to review and update policies on Paternity Leave, Parental Leave and Statutory Sick Pay.  You also need to consider how you store your holiday records and how you are going to store them going forward.  Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast to stay informed on the latest in UK employment law.

Hayley Rosenlund's career is a masterclass in navigating the high-pressure world of Capital Markets while maintaining personal integrity. From her early days at the LSE to leading sales teams in London and Paris, and eventually transitioning to executive coaching, her journey offers profound lessons on resilience, the "producer" mindset, and the evolving landscape of global finance.In this episode of Careers in Finance on FinPod, we explore the grit required to move from a support role to a top producer, the financial reality of the gender pay gap, and how to redefine success when your values shift.Navigating the Capital Markets Career PathHayley spent over a decade at RBC Capital Markets, specializing in fixed income sales. Her progression highlights the mental toughness required to thrive on a trading floor.The Shift to "Producer": Moving from a graduate role to a producer is one of the most significant hurdles in finance. Hayley explains that success in sales isn't just about "pitching hard," it relies on active listening and authenticity. Understanding a client's balance sheet and liquidity needs requires letting them speak first.The Impact of Automation & AI: Hayley witnessed the transition from voice-negotiated trades to Electronic and Portfolio Trading. With banks now executing massive blocks of risk (sometimes over €1 billion in a single trade), the role of the salesperson has moved from pure relationship management to complex execution expertise.The Financial Reality of Gender ParityAs a vocal advocate for gender equality in finance, Hayley provides a candid look at why women often drop out before reaching senior leadership, despite equal hiring at the entry level.Structural Changes Needed: To narrow the gender pay gap, Hayley argues for a shift toward Parental Leave (rather than just maternity leave) to level the playing field for hiring managers. She also highlights the need for dedicated mentorship to help women navigate mid-career inflections.Success Redefined: The "90-Year-Old" FrameworkThe transition from a high-earning banking role to executive coaching was driven by a realignment of core values. Hayley shares a powerful construct for anyone considering a career pivot: The 90-Year-Old Question. Imagine yourself at 90 looking back at your life. What would make you feel proud? What contribution did you make? This focus on purpose over "self-image" is what allowed her to step away from the corporate ladder to focus on human-centric leadership and narrowing the gender gap.

We're diving headfirst into the chaos that is parental leave in the United States — and debunking the absurd notion that being a mom somehow makes you any less dedicated or productive at work. Here today to help us navigate the murky waters of parental leave is Daphne Delvaux, Esq, also known as The Mamattorney — a legal badass who's made it her mission to fight pregnancy and postpartum discrimination and help women understand their rights at work. She's the founder of Delvaux Law, the only firm in the country dedicated exclusively to women's rights in the workplace. In this episode, Daphne breaks down what the law actually says, what your employer hopes you don't know, and how to protect yourself — legally, financially, and emotionally — when you're expecting (or recovering, or parenting, or just trying to stay employed while having a uterus). We cover: What to do if your HR department can't (or won't) help How to prep for maternity leave without sacrificing your career Legal protections you already have but probably haven't been told about The gender double standard of parental expectations at work Why we need to stop treating parenthood like a liability Because here's the truth: being a parent isn't the problem. The systems that punish you for it are. And if we're going to ask women to work like men, then it's time men start parenting like women.

Nicole and Ashley talk honestly about the emotional and logistical load of parenthood, lack of support in the workplace, and how change is slowly being pushed forward by people who are no longer willing to “stick their head in the blender” and pretend it's normal.Connect with Ashley:Website: https://dovetaildesigns.coPodcast website: https://www.andbothpodcast.com/AND/BOTH Community: https://www.andbothpodcast.com/andboth-communityDovetail® App: https://airtable.com/appn6w6IWipJYIuA3/pagZys7UnECzM46iJ/formSocial:Instagram: @dovetailappFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/dovetaildesigns.coLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleyblackington/
