Parental Leave and Employment Protection Act 1987

Miscellaneous provisions

72: Contracting out: holiday pay while on parental leave

You could also call this:

“Your work contract can give you more holiday pay during parental leave”

Your employment agreement can talk about holiday pay when you take parental leave in a way that’s different from what the law says. If it does, it can say that you will get holiday pay for your annual holidays at the same rate or a higher rate than what section 42(2) of the law mentions. This means you might get more holiday pay than the law requires when you take parental leave.
