Toolkit For Employers
MANAGING PREGNANCY, MATERNITY AND PARENTAL LEAVE IN THE WORKPLACE
The toolkit consists of:
Quick checklists for employers
Checklists provide a brief list of rights and actions for employers managing employees who are pregnant or taking maternity, paternity, adoption or shared parental leave. We outline who is (and is not) an employee and what rights they will be entitled on the basis of their employment status.
Model policies and Resources
Customise these model policies for your workplace on maternity, adoption, paternity, shared parental leave, flexible working and breastfeeding at work. Use the health and safety template risk assessment with pregnant employees.
