(This note is not part of these Regulations)
These Regulations correct errors in the Shared Parental Leave Regulations 2014 and the Maternity and Adoption Leave (Curtailment of Statutory Rights to Leave) Regulations 2014.
In addition, these Regulations amend the provision on the variation of period of leave notices in the Shared Parental Leave Regulations 2014 to protect employers and provide employees with flexibility.
A separate impact assessment has not been prepared for these Regulations. These Regulations relate to a package of legislative measures and the relevant impact assessment is the Modern Workplaces: shared parental leave and pay implementation consultation impact assessment which was published in February 2013. A copy of that impact assessment can be obtained from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, Labour Market Directorate, 1 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0ET. Copies have also been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament.
