What is the Protection from Redundancy (Pregnancy and Family Leave) Act?
Next steps
In light of this legislative change, employers undertaking redundancy or restructuring exercises will need to be more diligent than ever to avoid unfairly targeting pregnant employees or those on maternity, adoption, or shared parental leave.
Organisations should update HR policies, procedures, and training materials to align with the new legal requirements. Ensure that all personnel involved in redundancy processes understand the changes and the concept of priority protection. This will aid in planning restructures and managing consultation processes, as other employees might perceive these protections as unfair.
