An employee, who’s currently on maternity leave, calls to tell you she’s pregnant again. “Dismissal” rather than “congratulations” probably springs to mind. But, as a recent case shows, this reaction
could cost you over £100,000; why?
Suppose that you’re considering making some redundancies. One of your employees is currently on maternity leave and you’ve been told that she can’t be included in the selection pool as a result. Is
this correct?
A female employee who was referred to as a “baby farmer” after she had her second child has won various claims at the tribunal. Name calling is obviously wrong, but what other fundamental mistake was
made by the employer?
When you hire someone to cover a period of maternity leave, they can be dismissed immediately when the woman returns to work. But, as a recent case shows, it’s easy to trip up over this. So how do
you avoid any problems?
You recently promoted a female employee who’s now told you that she’s pregnant. You suspect that she will be taking her full maternity leave entitlement. As this will cause difficulties for your
business, can you withdraw the promotion?
In a recent ruling, a police officer was found to have been discriminated against because bosses took away her dog when she was pregnant. It’s an unusual situation, but one with an important lesson.
What can we learn from it?
One of your employees is going on maternity leave and you need temporary maternity cover. An applicant you’ve called to interview is pregnant herself - surely you can reject her because she would be
unable to fulfil the role?
As a well-informed employer you know that dismissing an employee due to her pregnancy is a big “no, no”. However, judging by the number of cases in this area many employers are still getting it
wrong. So what mistakes should you avoid?
A pregnant employee will only be entitled to receive statutory maternity pay (SMP) from you during her maternity leave if she meets all the eligibility criteria. What should you do if she doesn’t
qualify?
