'A Practical Guide to the Law of Pregnancy and Maternity at Work' by Rebecca Thomas
Our Head of Employment, Rebecca Thomas, has written a book titled, 'A Practical Guide to the Law of Pregnancy and Maternity at Work'. The book is a clear and practical guide for those involved in advising employers and women who are pregnant or on maternity leave as to their relevant rights and obligations in the workplace.
Designed to be a useful tool for both employment practitioners and HR Professionals, it examines an employer’s obligations to both employees and workers, covering key topics such as:
- health and safety
- maternity leave and pay
- return to work
- dismissal including redundancy.
In addition to looking at the key principles it also provides guidance on the potential legal claims that arise, including detriment, unfair dismissal and importantly, discrimination.
