EAT considers childcare vouchers removal during maternity leave

The Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) has heard the appeal in Peninsula Business Services v Donaldson, on the previously untested issue of whether or not an employer can make it a requirement of joining its childcare vouchers scheme that employees agree to suspend their membership while on maternity leave.

UPDATE: The EAT published its full judgment in this case on 9 March 2016. See Peninsula Business Services Ltd v Donaldson EAT/0249/15 for a law report on the judgment and guidance on the implications for employers.
