Employer's Pack: Handling Pregnancy and Maternity
It can be scary when an employee tells you they’re pregnant but it doesn’t need to be. With this pack you’ll have all the information you need to know how to handle every step.
So many business owners panic when an employee announces that they’re pregnant. These are your most protected employees and suddenly you don’t know what to say! There’s appointments, sickness, risks, maternity leave - do we decorate their desk or throw a party? Questions over entitlements and when notice has to be given. It can feel overwhelming. This pack will give you the confidence to answer all those questions and more, no more feeling like you don’t know what to say.
Imagine no longer:
- having to fear what to say
- wasting time researching the law
- worrying about what’s acceptable in respect of absence and appointments
- being stuck on how to cover maternity leave (the business needs to continue to operate!)
What if you:
- Knew exactly what their entitlements were and could answer their questions
- Could give them a guide so they had all the information to take away an digest
- Could plan for the appointments and maternity leave with minimal disruption to your business
This guide will give you:
Full details on the rights and entitlements of pregnant employees
Guide for employees, a document you can share with your employee to explain their rights to them
Letters to confirm maternity leave period
Understanding of risk assessments and your legal requirements
How to handle requests to change hours on return from maternity leave
Understanding of parental leave - whilst separate from maternity leave it is an entitlement new parents may make use of
