maternity rights

maternity rights
in the employment law of the UK, a series of rights given to pregnant women. Statutory maternity pay is payable. Maternity allowance is a social security benefit if she cannot get statutory maternity pay. A woman who has worked right up to the start of the eleventh week before her expected date of delivery is entitled to be kept on after her pregnancy so long as she gives her employer notice before she stops working that she intends to return to work. This notice must give the information in writing and supply medical evidence of the due date of confinement. The right is to be reinstated to a job just like the one she left – no better, no worse. If not allowed to return, the case will proceed much like one for unfair dismissal.
