New maternity leave protections: addressing gaps in the legal system

In theory English employment law provides women on maternity leave with very strong protection. Once a woman notifies her employer that she is pregnant, the “protected period” applies giving her enhanced protection from redundancy. This remains in effect until her maternity leave ends. Should a redundancy situation arise during the protected period, then the mother must be offered a suitable alternative role - notably, in preference to any other comparable employee. Such preferential treatment is one of the rare examples in English law where positive discrimination is not only permitted, but mandatory.

New maternity leave protections: addressing gaps in the legal system

In theory English employment law provides women on maternity leave with very strong protection. Once a woman notifies her employer that she is pregnant, the “protected period” applies giving her enhanced protection from redundancy. This remains in effect until her maternity leave ends. Should a redundancy situation arise during the protected period, then the mother must be offered a suitable alternative role - notably, in preference to any other comparable employee. Such preferential treatment is one of the rare examples in English law where positive discrimination is not only permitted, but mandatory.
