sample maternity & adoption policy - copy-protected first part of document only
requires free adobe reader


This policy now contains two versions take into account situations where either childbirth or adoption is due before 1st April 2007 and where due on or after 1st April 2007. This is because of changes in the law under the Work and Families Act 2006. Regulations under the Act came into force on 1st October 2006, but relate to births and adoptions on and after 1st April 2007.

This Maternity and Adoption Policy details employees' statutory rights to maternity and adoption leave and the obligations imposed on both the employee and the employer by law.

This policy document also details the rights and obligations regarding adoption leave for both male and female employees. Use of this policy by an employer will help to protect against claims, including claims for sex discrimination.

The clauses in this policy include:

  • Qualification and terms for leave for both male and female employees.
  • Procedure for 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.
  • Extension of maternity leave due to sickness.
  • Details of ordinary & additional adoption leave and statutory adoption pay.
  • Contractual rights and obligations during both 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 under the Employment Act 2002. As the 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.
