(This note is not part of these Regulations)
These Regulations, issued free of charge, correct drafting errors in the Statutory Shared Parental Pay (General) Regulations 2014. The errors concern provisions relating to the earnings of a claimant’s partner, calculation of normal weekly earnings, calculation of continuous employment and persons unable to act.
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.
