Pregnancy and Maternity Discrimination – A Guide for Advisers representing Employees and Workers

Thursday 21 March 2024, 10.30am – 12pm

Our free seminar for employee advisors is part of our campaign – Mind The Bump, which runs throughout March 2024 to stamp out pregnancy and maternity discrimination in the workplace. This is designed for Employee Advisors and Trade Union Representatives.

Laura Donnelly, Associate Employment Solicitor, will advise on how you can best assist employees and workers who are pregnant or on maternity leave, and are subjected to detriments or treated unfavourably at work.

Our seminar will focus on useful tactics to hold employers to account by reminding them of their legal obligations and duties. We will look at specific case studies and the types of remedies available.

Topics covered in the session will include:

• Pregnancy and maternity rights
• Time off for ante-natal appointments
• Pregnancy-related sickness
• Redundancy and Maternity Leave
• Returning to Work
• Requests for Flexible Working
• Bringing and appealing formal grievances
• Settlement Agreements

Please submit written questions when you register for this seminar and you will also have the opportunity to ask questions at the end.
