Parents can now share up to 50 weeks of leave in a child's first year, including for adoption.
Those facing loss can take up to two weeks' bereavement leave or one week leave after miscarriage, with allowances for unpaid workers.
The department is advising employers to make sure they're ready for the changes this weekend - you can find guidance here.
