Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a maternity discrimination claim?
Generally, you have three months less one day from the date of the discriminatory act to file a claim with an employment tribunal. However, this time limit can be extended in certain circumstances. It’s crucial to act promptly and seek legal advice as soon as possible to ensure you don’t miss any deadlines.
What rights do I have if I'm made redundant while pregnant or on maternity leave?
If you’re made redundant while pregnant or on maternity leave, you have special protection. You should be offered any suitable alternative vacancies in priority over other employees. If your employer fails to do this, the redundancy may be considered automatically unfair dismissal and pregnancy/maternity discrimination.
What are my rights regarding breastfeeding at work?
Employers should provide suitable facilities for breastfeeding mothers to rest and express milk. They should also conduct a risk assessment and make reasonable adjustments to working conditions if necessary. While there’s no legal right to breastfeeding breaks, many employers accommodate this need.
How does shared parental leave work?
Shared Parental Leave (SPL) allows parents to share up to 50 weeks of leave and 37 weeks of pay in the first year after birth or adoption. Parents can take leave in blocks separated by periods of work or take it all in one go. Both parents must meet eligibility criteria to qualify.
What should I do if I face discrimination at work due to pregnancy or maternity?
If you believe you’re facing discrimination, document all incidents and communications. Raise the issue with your employer through formal grievance procedures. If the issue remains unresolved, consider seeking legal advice to explore your options, including potential tribunal claims.
Need expert legal guidance on maternity rights? We’ll match you with a specialized solicitor to address your personal or business concerns. Contact us today.
Can employment solicitors assist with contract reviews?
Yes, employment solicitors can review and advise on employment contracts, including terms and conditions, non-compete clauses, and severance agreements. They can help ensure the contract is fair and legally compliant.
