Maternity & Paternity Leave
Maternity leave is a statutory right and as an employer there are actions that you need to take at various stages in the maternity process. You have a responsibility to meet certain criteria from the point the employee informs you of their pregnancy, right the way through to their return to work from maternity leave.
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 include regulations that protect the health and safety of new and expectant mothers who work. Under the Sex Discrimination Act 1975, if an employer fails to protect the health and safety of their pregnant workers, it is automatically considered sex discrimination.
