Article 107G and 107I, inserted into the Employment Rights (Northern Ireland) Order by the Work and Families Act (Northern Ireland) 2015, contain powers to make regulations entitling an employee who is adopting a child under the law of any part of the United Kingdom, or the partner of such an adopter, to shared parental leave.
