A new law extends bereavement leave rights to pregnancy losses, granting employees up to two weeks of unpaid time off work for certain terminations and miscarriages. The policy covers cases where the loss occurs before 24 weeks of pregnancy.
The change applies to women and their partners, giving them time away from work in connection with the loss. Across the available reporting, the key details focus on the eligibility threshold (before 24 weeks) and the duration of leave (up to two weeks), rather than on additional features such as pay arrangements, notification requirements, or the administrative process for employers.
While the outlets provided here share the same core description, they do not present differing figures or separate policy components beyond the basic entitlement. As a result, the main context is that the law broadens bereavement-related employment protections to include earlier pregnancy losses, rather than only other forms of bereavement.
