During this time parents may need to travel significant distances between their home and the hospital on a daily basis or even stay in temporary accommodation closer to the hospital. This could introduce issues such as: childcare arrangements for other children; parents’ ability to return to work at the end of their period of arranged leave; as well as the financial costs arising from all of the above. Prospective parents and new parents enjoy a range of family-related leave and pay rights which enable them to take time off work prior to the birth of their child and subsequently. In addition, all employees have the right take a reasonable amount of time off work to deal with emergencies involving family and other dependants; and employees with 26 weeks’ service have a statutory right to request flexible working. Nevertheless, evidence gathered so far through the BEIS internal review suggests that current leave and pay entitlements do not adequately support parents where the baby or babies need to spend a prolonged period in neonatal care.

CIPP response to consultation on The Employment Allowance (Excluded persons) Regulations 27 August 2019
We recently held a think tank roundtable where CIPP members and representatives met with HMRC officials to discuss the impact of the Employment Allowance (Excluded Persons) Regulations from April 2020.
Thank you to Armstrong Watson for hosting the event and thank you to all those who took the time to attend and provide your important opinions, views and experiences. This evidence has helped form the CIPP’s response to the technical consultation which can be found, in full, within the My CIPP/Policy hub on our website.
A summary of our response is below which highlights the key concerns and recommendations expressed within the policy think tank.
Impact of Employment Allowance becoming de minimis State Aid
By restricting the Employment Allowance (EA) to employers with secondary Class 1 NIC contributions of less than £100,000, HMRC consider that Employment Allowance is now classified as de minimis state aid, and as such requires an extended level of record keeping for HMRC to ensure that eligible employers do not breach limits that exist under the rules of state aid.
