Good news on pregnancy for employers

June 26, 2009 by Anthony Mullinder

Employers  enjoyed a double benefit recently as proposed increases in paid maternity leave were blocked by the European Commission, and the new Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (formerly BERR) issued a new guide called ‘Pregnancy and work: What you need to know’. 

New rights to 12-months’ paid maternity leave, and the ability for parents to share paid leave between them following birth of their child (so that the father could take up to six months’ paid leave out of the mother’s entitlement so she could return to work earlier), have been shelved because of the recession. Meanwhile, BIS (formerly BERR) have published a new guide Pregnancy and work; what you need to know for employers, containing a checklist setting out what they need to do, and why.
