Maternity Leave (Antenatal Appointments)

All pregnant employees (regardless of length of service) are legally entitled to paid time-off to attend antenatal appointments and classes.

Confirm that right to avoid any misunderstanding. This letter helps employers:

• Confirm a request to take time off work
• Confirm employees legal rights
• Ask for evidence of antenatal appointments
• Ask the employee about their form MATB1 confirming they are having a baby
• Request and set your parameters for accommodating their antenatal appointments
