Chapter 9
Right to paid maternity suspension — pregnancy and childbirth
[ch 9: page 331]An employer who identifies an unavoidable risk to the health and safety of a new or expectant mother and/or their unborn child must change the woman’s working conditions or hours of work. If this is not reasonable or would not remove the risk, the woman must be suspended from work for as long as necessary. The right to a paid maternity suspension is explained in Chapter 4, page 117.
