Pregnancy and Maternity Discrimination
Pregnancy should be a happy time, but unfair treatment at work can add stress. The good news? Pregnancy and maternity discrimination are protected by law. Navigating this situation can be confusing. That’s why we’re here to help.
Equality Act 2010 Pregnancy and Maternity
The Equality Act 2010, pregnancy and maternity, protects employees from discrimination. It applies from when you become pregnant until the end of your maternity leave or return to work (whichever is earlier). It’s illegal for employers to treat someone less favourably because they are pregnant, have a pregnancy-related illness or are on maternity leave.
It may be difficult to show that any unfair treatment was because of pregnancy unless you have told your employer. Alternatively, you need evidence that your employer suspected or had become aware. This is where we can help.
If you think you’ve been discriminated against, we offer advice and support.
