Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

Clause 22 adds a new power to make provisions for non-redundancy dismissals during or after the protected period of pregnancy. The amendments will add supplementary provisions to this power. This is to ensure that the regulations can clearly set out details as part of defining the circumstances in which a pregnant woman can still be fairly dismissed. We will work with stakeholders on how to exercise these powers in regulations.
