Maternity Leave

The purpose of the maternity leave policy is to detail the eligibility of employees to receive occupational NHS maternity pay. The policy details the eligibility criteria for the occupational scheme and the application process.

The policy also details the ability to return to work during maternity leave for KIT (Keeping in Touch) days if you would like to do so and the obligations on the employer to ensure an appropriate risk assessment is carried out to ensure your health and safety when pregnant and on your return.
