The Additional Paternity Leave (Adoptions from Overseas) Regulations 2010
These Regulations implement the powers in the Work and Families Act 2006 to introduce a new entitlement for employees adopting children from overseas to take additional paternity leave in the first year after the child enters Great Britain. The provisions relating to additional paternity leave are incorporated by the Work and Families Act 2006 into the Employment Rights Act 1996 (“the 1996 Act”). SI 2010/1058 extends the application of the relevant provisions to apply to overseas adoptions.
