Called 'the bible of working parents' rights', "Maternity and Parental Rights" is a comprehensive guide to the statutory framework relating to parents' rights at work - a patchwork of UK and European employment, discrimination and social security law. The authors provide expert guidance on the law including up-to-date coverage of developments in case-law, and a wealth of practical tips and tactics. The text is supplemented with helpful tables, flowcharts, contacts and precedents. This edition is up-to-date to include all the recent statutory provisions which apply from April 2007. This book is supported by Working Families. Working Families is the UK's leading work-life balance organisation. It supports and gives a voice to working parents and carers, while also helping employers create workplaces which encourage work-life balance for everyone.
