questions

Can my employer dismisses me or make me redundant during my pregnancy/maternity leave?



questions

You cannot be dismissed or selected for redundancy because of pregnancy or maternity leave, or unlawfully denied the right to return. Claim unfair dismissal, sex discrimination and breach of maternity rights.


answers

If you are made redundant during maternity leave, your employer should give you first refusal of any vacancy/alternative jobs.

Dismissal for exercising any of the new family friendly rights is automatically unfair.
