Pregnancy & Maternity Discrimination.

If an employer treats you unfairly because you’re pregnant or because you’ve recently had a baby, you may have been discriminated against.

Pregnancy and maternity discrimination is when your employer treats you unfairly because you’re pregnant or because you’ve recently had a baby, and you suffer a disadvantage as a result - for example, if you're dismissed

An employer must not discriminate against you because:

*you are pregnant, or
*of a pregnancy-related illness.
*Once you’ve had your baby, it’s also unlawful to discriminate against you for one of these reasons:

*you’re on maternity leave
*you’ve been on maternity leave
* you’ve tried to take maternity leave which you’re entitled

Examples of unfavourable treatment

Situations where you may be able to complain about pregnancy and maternity discrimination include if:

you're suspended from work by your employer for health and safety reasons and don't receive full pay

you're dismissed because your employer says they can't afford to pay you statutory maternity pay

you can't go to a disciplinary meeting due to a pregnancy-related illness and your employer refuses to re-arrange the meeting

you're disciplined for having performance issues due to a pregnancy-related illness

your employer fails to carry out a health and safety risk assessment, forcing you to resign

your employer demotes or dismisses you, or stops you from having training or promotion opportunities, because you're pregnant or on maternity leave.

your employer refuses to give you time off for antenatal care or to give you your normal pay when you attend antenatal appointments.

you’re made redundant during your maternity leave and there isn't a genuine redundancy situation or you're selected because you're pregnant.

you’re turned down for a job when the employer learns you’re pregnant.

Employers and employees have responsibilities to each other, they should also expect their rights to be upheld. These rights and responsibilities relate to areas such as Health and Safety, the provision of Terms and Conditions of Employment, Equal Opportunities and the right to be paid a Minimum Wage. The Health and Safety at Work Acts set out responsibilities and rights for both employees and employers. Employees are expected to carry out their work in a way that has regard to the safety of others. Employers are expected to abide by a range of requirements governing such aspects as providing safe machinery and equipment, carrying out regular health and safety checks, ensuring the training of employees in health and safety issues, and carrying out a risk assessment to assess the dangers of particular work activities. There are also specific regulations about the way in which potentially harmful substances should be used and stored. There are a number of requirements about the minimum temperature at work, and other aspects of working conditions

Employees with a minimum two years service with the same employer have the right not to be unfairly dismissed

Cases concerning discrimination, which are proved, attract some of the highest awards in the Employment Tribunal. Usually, in high award cases most of the compensation is made up of an amount in respect of injury to feelings.

If you feel you are a victim of unlawful Discrimination and it’s affecting your health ask your GP for help. Many victim’s health suffers because of the conduct of their employer.
