Organisation of Working Time (Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Jane Ann Duffy:

On the question around the leave and there being a higher provision in the NUIG, when we were bringing in the statute, that is a statutory minimum, but it is always open to employers to go further. That would have no impact on what might be available in any individual employer. This is the statutory leave, but an employer is always free to offer additional leave.
