Understanding, interpreting and complying with pregnancy and maternity rights in the workplace can be tricky. Employers face the challenge of managing business needs with the needs of mothers, fathers and anyone else with parenting responsibilities at a time which can be stressful and emotional. In this session we will look at the legal framework governing pregnancy and maternity rights, returning to work, redundancy, in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and surrogacy, Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) and settlement agreements and finally potential reform.

In this webinar Anna Fletcher provides advice on managing these issues, highlight the pitfalls and offer practical tips.
