Introduction
1.These Explanatory Notes relate to the Parental Bereavement (Leave and Pay) Act (Northern Ireland) 2022 which received Royal Assent on 21 March 2022. They have been prepared by the Department for the Economy in order to assist the reader in understanding the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by the Assembly.
2.The Notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So where a section, or part of a section, or a Schedule does not seem to require an explanation or comment, none is given.
