Parental Leave (Premature and Sick Babies) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill would give parents of premature babies or babies with serious health problems additional paid leave from work beyond the standard parental leave entitlements. It recognizes that these parents need to spend time in hospital with their baby during a critical period, and gives them legal protection to do so without risking their job or income.

Presented by David Linden.
