The Maternity Policy provides clear guidance to employees, explaining their entitlement to take maternity leave, the procedure they have to adopt and detailing their obligations and duties whilst on leave. The policy also acts as a checklist for managers in order to ensure that maternity leave procedures are operated in accordance with the statutory requirements, and are dealt with fairly and consistently throughout your Company.Given the amount of complex legislation relating to maternity rights and that employees are increasingly more aware of their employment rights it is essential that employers adopt a consistent and lawful approach when dealing with such requests for leave so as to avoid, or minimise, the risk of Employment Tribunal claims.
The draft policy covers:
- Starting Maternity Leave
- Antenatal Care
- Employee Rights During Leave
- Maternity Pay
- Returning to Work
The draft policy also comes with a 13-page Management Guide containing helpful notes on the policy.
