Course description
Maternity Leave
During pregnancy, and the period following childbirth, both mothers and fathers receive a significant degree of legal protection against workplace disadvantage. This protection seeks to avoid discrimination, work stress, and financial difficulty through anti-discrimination law, statutory entitlements to leave, and financial benefits. In return, those concerned have responsibilities, primarily in respect of keeping their employer notified of their wishes and intentions.
This course aims to enable learners to understand the full range of rights and responsibilities of mothers-to-be, and fathers, during the time they are in paid employment.
