Part 2: Parental Bereavement Pay 171ZZ7 Entitlement: Supplementary
Section 171ZZ7 specifies that, in order to receive payments, an employee must give notice to their employer of the week or weeks they are intending to take leave. This must be in writing if the employer requires it.
	Regulations may provide for when that notice must be given, and can disapply or modify the requirement for notice in specified circumstances. They can also set out requirements for evidence relating to proof of entitlement.
	Regulations may specify that someone employed by the same employer for at least 26 weeks, but under different contracts of service which were not continuous, will nevertheless meet the test for continuous employment. They can also prescribe circumstances for other employees in which employment is to be treated as continuous.
	The Regulations can specify how earnings are to be calculated or estimated for the purposes of deciding whether an employee meets the earnings threshold. This includes being able to identify particular types of payments which are to be excluded from the calculation. The Regulations may also provide for amounts earned from the same employer under two separate contracts to be aggregated for this purpose.
