Pregnancy and Maternity rights in the workplace

Having trouble seeing this email? Please click here Pregnancy and maternity rights in the workplace As a pregnant employee there are a number of benefits that you may be entitled to. These include maternity leave and pay, or maternity allowance and parental leave. In order to use these benefits there are a number of things that you must know and do. The pregnancy at work leaflet summarises the rights and responsibilities of both pregnant employees and their employers. Additional advice and information can be found at www.direct.gov.uk/workandfamilies for you and www.businesslink.gov.uk/workandfamilies for your employer. Talking to your employer about your plans from an early stage will help you both, so the leaflet also sets out what you should do or think about to help both of you manage your pregnancy, your maternity leave and your return to work. The leaflet includes a section for you to give your employer. Passing it on will make sure your employer can find out what they need to know. Your partner may also be able to take up to two weeks' paternity leave when your baby is born and additional paternity leave which allows him to take time off to care for your baby if you go back to work before the end of your maternity leave. Your partner may find it helpful to pass a copy of the leaflet to their employer when they discuss paternity leave.
