This updated second edition of Maternity Rights Law is a 'must have' book for all pregnant workers and working parents. The book explains maternity law rights to which pregnant workers and working parents are entitled and the corresponding responsibilities which their employers must observed. This book, unlike the internet where information about maternity law can be found scattered across thousands of pages some of which is out of date or inaccurate, states up to date relevant information about UK maternity law together with case authorities and legal references which show how tribunals and the courts apply the law. For a pregnant worker to know and enforce her rights under the law, it is essential for her to know which particular law applies to her situation and the remedy. The same applies to working parents who need to know their rights and responsibilities when taking the various forms of maternity leave including, from 05 April 2015, the 52-week shared parental leave.
