Currently, the provisions of the Holidays Act, as they are written, quite often lead to disputes between employers and employees when it comes to having to take bereavement leave. And that, of course, in the circumstances that that occurs, is absolutely unacceptable and unreasonable, but it happens more frequently than not. Having worked at grassroots levels at a union, I can state for the record that I have frequently represented women who have had to defend themselves for needing to take leave for their miscarriage. Now, there are examples of employers even going through social media to say, "Well, you said you had a miscarriage that day, but at night we saw you at a party.", or "At night, we saw you going out for dinner." What that doesn't recognise is that quite often the women actually put on a brave face and don't admit to their employer or to their friends and family that they are hurting from this particular event.
