Motion

Miscarriage Leave and Pay

Miscarriage Leave and Pay
That this Assembly reiterates its support for the provisions of the Parental Bereavement (Leave and Pay) Act (Northern Ireland) 2022, and associated regulations, which established the right for eligible working parents in Northern Ireland to take paid statutory parental bereavement leave following the death or stillbirth of a child; believes employees who experience pregnancy loss through miscarriage should also be able to avail of this support as a day one right with no minimum period of employment required; and calls on the Minister for the Economy to urgently introduce regulations to provide a statutory entitlement to miscarriage leave and pay.
