Maternity Protective Period
Maternity protected leave, also known as Statutory Maternity Leave, is a legal right in the UK that allows employees expecting a baby to take up to 52 weeks off work. This leave is divided into two parts: ordinary maternity leave and additional maternity leave. We can offer advice and support if you are going through any maternity leave discrimination.
