Parental Leave Directive

Question 1

A father wants to take parental leave to care for his newborn. Does the Directive grant him this right independently of the mother?

11:22 ✓✓

A No, only the mother can take parental leave after childbirth.

B Yes, provided he meets eligibility criteria and the leave is not transferred from the mother. ✓

C Only if the mother returns to work immediately after maternity leave.

11:22 ✓✓

✅ Correct!
Parental leave is individual and gender-neutral under the Directive. Option A contradicts the principle of individual rights. Option C adds a condition not in the law.

11:22 ✓✓

Implied Terms of Employment Contract

Question 2

An employee in a sales role is suddenly told they will no longer be assigned clients and will perform only administrative tasks. They resign and claim breach of contract. Is there an implied duty to provide work in this case?

11:22 ✓✓

A Yes, because all employees have an implied right to be given meaningful work as part of their role.

B No, unless the employment contract is one where remuneration depends on output or performance, such as commission-based roles. ✓

C Yes, because withholding work constitutes a unilateral variation of the contract, breaching trust and confidence.

11:22 ✓✓

✅ Correct!
The duty to provide work arises only in contracts where pay is linked to work provided (e.g., piecework or commission), as in William Hill Organisation Ltd v Tucker. In salaried roles, there is no general duty to provide work. Withholding work may breach trust and confidence, but not automatically the duty to provide work.

11:22 ✓✓

Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 (TULRCA) ss.146, 152-155, 170

Question 3

Under TULRCA 1992, what does section 146 primarily protect?

11:22 ✓✓

A The right of a union to call for industrial action without employer interference.

B Workers from being subjected to any detriment on grounds of trade union membership or activities. ✓

C Employers from being forced to recognise a trade union against their will.

11:22 ✓✓

✅ Correct!
Section 146 TULRCA prohibits employers from subjecting workers to detriment because of union membership or activities. This includes denial of promotion or training opportunities.

11:22 ✓✓
