EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Statutory Paternity Pay and Statutory Adoption Pay (General) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/2822) (“the General Regulations”) and the Statutory Paternity Pay and Statutory Adoption Pay (Weekly Rates) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/2818) (“the Weekly Rates Regulations”)

Regulation 4 amends Regulation 21 of the General Regulations and establishes that the adoption pay period is 39 consecutive weeks.

Regulation 5 inserts a new Regulation 27A into the General Regulations, providing that statutory adoption pay shall continue to be paid where an employee works for his employer for not more than 10 days within the adoption pay period.

Regulation 7 substitutes a new Regulation 4 into the Weekly Rates Regulations, and allows for payments of statutory adoption pay and statutory paternity pay for a week or part of a week to be rounded up to the next penny.

A Regulatory Impact Assessment of the costs and benefits of these Regulations to business has been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament. Copies are available to the public from the Employment Relations Directorate, 1 Victoria Street, London SW1H OET and are also available on the Directorate’s website at www.dti.gov.uk/files/file31573.pdf.
