Provide a written statement of reasons for dismissal for an employee dismissed while pregnant or on maternity leave
Key points
Generally, an employer must give an employee a written statement of reasons for dismissal only if the employee requests one and if they have the required qualifying service, but these requirements do not apply if the dismissed employee is pregnant or on maternity leave.
An employer that dismisses an employee when they are pregnant or on ordinary or additional maternity leave must provide them with a written statement of reasons for the dismissal, whether or not they make a request for one.
