Redundancy 101: Pregnancy and Maternity Leave
It’s an unfortunate truth that many women in the UK face discrimination during pregnancy and maternity leave.
Recent studies reveal a significant issue: as many as 74,000 women each year are estimated to lose their jobs due to pregnancy or maternity leave.
This makes it absolutely crucial to understand your rights, recognise discriminatory behaviour, and know what steps to take if it happens to you.
To help you navigate these challenges, we're hosting a £5 masterclass with Clare Chappell, our resident Nugget employment lawyer.
Clare has over 24 years of experience specialising in pregnancy and maternity discrimination, Clare will provide essential insights into the protections you have during parental leave.
There will be a dedicated Q&A session at the end, and if you can't attend live, a recording will be sent out the following day.
What you will learn:
What protections do you have when you are pregnant / on leave / return from work?
In what circumstances can you be made redundant during this protected period?
What counts as pregnancy / maternity discrimination?
What should you do if you think you are being discriminated against?
When should you involve an employment lawyer, what are the next steps and what costs can be expected?
Where can you go for free legal advice?
What happens to your access to childcare schemes if you are made redundant?
How do redundancy packages affect eligibility for childcare schemes?Add Desc
