These Regulations amend the Social Security Contributions (Decisions and Appeals) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/1027) ("the principal Regulations").
Regulation 1 provides for the citation and commencement of the Regulations.
Regulation 2 provides a definition of "the principal Regulations" for the purposes of these Regulations.
Regulation 3 replaces all references to statutory sick pay or statutory maternity pay in the principal Regulations with references to statutory sick pay, statutory maternity pay, statutory paternity pay or statutory adoption pay. Statutory paternity pay and statutory adoption pay are introduced, for employees whose place of employment is in Great Britain, by Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the Employment Act 2002 (c. 22) and, for those whose place of employment is in Northern Ireland, by the corresponding provisions of the Employment (Northern Ireland) Order 2002 (S.I. 2002/2836 (N.I.2)).
A regulatory impact assessment in respect of the introduction of statutory paternity pay and statutory adoption pay has been prepared and is available on the Department of Trade and Industry's website at www.dti.gov.uk/er/riabudget.htm.
