Part 2: Parental Bereavement Pay 171ZZ10: Restrictions on contracting out
Section 171ZZ10 specifies that Parental Bereavement Pay rights cannot be diluted or denied in an employee’s contract, nor can an employee be required to contribute to the costs. This does not affect the validity of any agreement allowing the employer to make deductions from statutory pay, if the employer is also authorised to make the same deductions from any contractual remuneration which the employer is obliged to pay during the period (or would be authorised to make those deductions if there was an obligation to pay contractual remuneration).
