New legislation:
The Neonatal Care (Leave and Pay) Act 2023 will allow eligible employed parents whose new-born baby is admitted to neonatal care to take up to 12 weeks of paid leave. This is in addition to other leave entitlements such as maternity and paternity leave. The new neonatal leave and pay entitlements are expected to set out in detailed regulations and to be implemented by April 2025.
The Protection from Redundancy (Pregnancy and Family Leave) Act 2023 will allow the extension of existing redundancy protections while on maternity, adoption, or shared parental leave to also cover pregnancy and a period after a new parent has returned to work. The Act will enable further regulations to be passed which will enhance protections for pregnant women and new parents to confront common discriminatory practice from employers. The Act is expected to come into force at the end of two months beginning with the day the Act was passed, being in July 2023, and with detailed regulations to follow. The Act will be of relevance in redundancy consultation processes and is likely to place a statutory obligation on employers to offer suitable alternative roles to at risk employees for a period of 6 months following their return from maternity, adoption, or shared parental leave.
