What are my rights when I become pregnant?

u must tell your employer that you are pregnant at least 15 weeks before your baby is due. This will ensure that they can plan for your absence and arrange any necessary maternity cover. Once you have done this, you will be fully protected by the Equality Act 2010, which states that you must not be discriminated against in any way due to your pregnancy or maternity leave.

All employees are entitled to reasonable paid time off for antenatal appointments while pregnant. In addition, if you have been with the same employer for at least 26 weeks before notifying them of your pregnancy, and earn at least £102 a week on average, you are entitled to statutory paid maternity leave of 26 weeks and up to 26 weeks of additional (albeit unpaid) maternity leave.

You also have a right to expect that your job will be waiting for you when you return from maternity leave, and that your employer will at least consider the option of offering you flexible working to help you with childcare arrangements when you return to work.
