Maternity and Paternity

What are you and your employees entitled to?

Laws exist to ensure that working parents can combine work with looking after their children. In this area small businesses have the same obligations as any other employer. There are a range of laws related to maternity/ paternity that cover areas such as pay, length of leave, returning to work after having a child and how roles can and cannot be filled during maternity leave.
