Parental Leave and Employment Protection Act 1987

Payment for parental leave - Administration

71V: Non-return to work does not affect payment

You could also call this:

“You still get paid even if you don't go back to work”

This section of the law was about how not returning to work would affect payments. However, it has been removed from the law. The government took it out on 1 April 2016. This means it no longer applies, and you can’t rely on it anymore.
