Introduction
This line manager
briefing covers the basic rights of employees who become pregnant and
take maternity leave. It should
be noted that the rights and duties discussed in this briefing are the minimum
statutory rights and duties. Individual employers may offer their employees
contractual entitlements over and above the minimum statutory rights. Employees'
contractual terms may therefore be the source of further rights and duties that
line managers will be required to take into account.
