Parental Leave and Employment Protection Act 1987

COVID-19 response workers

30JB: Retrospective application of this Part

You could also call this:

“This part of the law works backwards to help COVID-19 workers from March 2020”

This part of the law applies from 25 March 2020, even though it wasn’t officially in force on that date. This means that the rules for COVID-19 response workers in the Parental Leave and Employment Protection Act 1987 work as if they had been in place since 25 March 2020. It’s like the law is going back in time to make sure these workers are covered from that date.
