The Act aims to provide additional support to parents of babies requiring neonatal care. It grants employed parents statutory entitlement to paid leave if their baby is admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit. Recognising the stress and disruption caused by such situations, the legislation ensures financial stability and job security for affected families. Employers are mandated to offer this leave, ensuring compliance with broader employment laws. This measure enhances parental rights, alleviates financial pressures during critical periods, and promotes workplace equality, reflecting the UK's commitment to family welfare.
