Maternity Policy and Procedure
The policy clarifies a woman's entitlement to pay and leave, details her rights and obligations prior to, during and after maternity leave, and details the obligations on both her and the employer under statutory maternity provision.
In common with all policies, this policy should be signed by the most senior person responsible for its operation (normally the head of the Company) and all employees should be informed of its contents, with a central copy held on a 'Personnel Policy File' with all of your other policies and procedures. Once you have established this as Company Policy, please ensure you and your employees comply with it.
Other documents you may wish to consider implementing in addition to this policy include:
Flexible Working Policy and Procedure
Parental Leave Policy and Procedure
