• Notifying employer of pregnancy or intention to take adoption leave.
• Details of ordinary, additional and compulsory maternity leave.
• Details of statutory maternity pay and maternity allowance.

• Contractual rights and obligations during maternity and adoption leave.
• Procedure for notifying employer of intention to return to work after leave.

Reasons to buy:

There have been major changes to maternity rights and rights for those adopting children. Regulations have become more complex  - all employers should have a clear written policy to follow. This will help to avoid any possible discrimination claims. Please note that discrimination claims do not have a maximum compensation limit stated by law and so have the potential to be quite large.
