Focus on… Mothers At Work
This course is designed for the employer who has to manage pregnant workers, those on maternity leave and/or employees who are primary carers to children. It will cover the employment issues that arise in the work-place from pregnancy and maternity and childcare. The session aims to be practical; it will briefly cover the relevant laws but focus on what actions the employer needs to take in each given employment situation to balance operational concerns with legal obligations.
The 2 hour classroom course covers:
- Pre-maternity:
- handling pregnancy from the outset including notification of pregnancy issues;
- pregnancy at work including ante-natal issues and risk assessments and safe working;
- During maternity:
- handling maternity leave and pay;
- keeping in touch days and work activities during maternity;
- benefits during maternity including holidays;
- After maternity:
- return to work – early or late, or not at all and how to retain talent;
- returning to the same or different job including flexible working applications; and
- hot topics including breast-feeding and managing childcare-related absence;
- Sex discrimination:
- protection on grounds of pregnancy and maternity – including men;
- problem areas: recruitment; opportunities and termination; and
- possible discrimination claims even where complying with maternity laws.
Let us give you the information you require to run your business as smoothly and as risk free as possible.
