Employment law is reserved for Scotland and Wales but devolved to Northern Ireland. It will be for the Northern Ireland Assembly to decide whether similar provisions should apply in Northern Ireland.
The Sections creating an entitlement to Neonatal Care Leave and Pay will therefore extend and apply to Great Britain, but the Act itself extends to the whole of the UK owing to some of its consequential amendments.
