Pregnancy and Maternity Leave and Pay Policy Writers

These policies set out the rights and support available to employees during pregnancy, maternity leave, and their return to work.

They ensure legal compliance and provide a clear process for managing time off, pay entitlements, and health and safety during pregnancy.

What Do Pregnancy and Maternity Policies Cover?

A pregnancy and maternity policy typically includes:

• Notification requirements and eligibility for maternity leave

• Statutory Maternity Leave and Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP)

• Occupational maternity pay (if applicable)

• Health and safety risk assessments during pregnancy

• Keeping in touch (KIT) days and communication during leave

• Rights to return to work and protection from discrimination

• Support for antenatal appointments and workplace adjustments

Employers must comply with the Employment Rights Act 1996, the Maternity and Parental Leave Regulations 1999, and the Equality Act 2010. These laws protect employees from unfair treatment due to pregnancy or maternity.

A clear policy helps employees understand their entitlements and allows employers to plan ahead while supporting staff at a critical time.
