S5E3 - Tricky Issues with Pregnancy and Maternity Rights (with Betsan Criddle KC)

In this episode, you’ll learn about the tricky issues associated with pregnancy and maternity rights in the workplace, including:-

• how pregnancy/maternity is legally different from other protected characteristics
• tricky pay issues, eg should women on maternity pay receive bonuses paid to other employees?
• tricky issues to do with redundancy, eg what happens when an employer realises that it doesn’t need the role any more, as there’s no impact on the business when the woman is off?

Daniel discusses the topic with Betsan Criddle KC from Old Square Chambers.
