Pregnant Employees Rights & Support

Pregnant employees have the right to a safe work environment. If their regular role poses risks, they can request a transfer to a "safe job" with minimized risks, same terms & conditions, and potentially fewer hours. Employers should be proactive in planning for such transfers and avoid discrimination. If no safe job exists, the employee may be entitled to paid or unpaid leave. They are guaranteed to return to their original role (or similar) after parental leave.
