Q&A: Getting maternity and paternity leave right as an employer
Brighton Chamber explores the latest guidance and legislation on maternity and paternity management, rights and best practice in their next Q&A.
Understanding your rights surrounding maternity/paternity leave is important. Amy Lishman, Head of Member Engagement and Deputy CEO at Brighton Chamber will be joined by Samantha Dickinson, Head of Litigation and Martin Williams, Head of Employment Law at Mayo Wynne Baxter, to discuss rights, payment, employer expectations and tips for returning to work. There will also be opportunities to ask questions during and after the event.
So, whether you’re a parent-to-be with questions, an HR manager who wants to be up to date with the latest legislation, or a manager who wants some advice from an expert, this Q&A is for you!
Some topics we’ll cover include:
• How is maternity pay calculated and paid?
• What is the expectation on the employer for staying in touch regarding career development opportunities?
• What is best practice around keeping in touch days? What are these for, how are they arranged and paid for?
• Returning to work - what tips do you have for ensuring it goes smoothly for employer and member of staff?
• Requests for flexible working
• Paternity leave – who’s entitled and how does it work?
