Juggling maternity rights and practical employment issues can be notoriously difficult, and has the potential to make what should be a happy event seem rather daunting, for both employer and employee.

We see the same questions arise time and again on some particularly thorny maternity topics, including HOW TO:

  • Deal with bonus, commission and holiday entitlement during maternity leave, in a way that is lawful and fairly balances the interests of the new mother, the rest of the team and the business
  • Handle flexible working requests and the right to return to work (including what to do if you would prefer to keep the maternity cover)
  • Conduct a redundancy exercise when employees on maternity leave are among those “at risk”

In this session, we will give you pragmatic and straightforward answers to these issues, and other, tricky questions, along with practical tips on how to navigate your way through the issues.
