Becoming a parent is a unique and life-changing experience, which can be one of life's greatest events. Unfortunately, not every employer sees things quite the same way, and some employers discriminate against new mothers and fathers. However, the law regarding parental rights is very clear, and where you're being discriminated against as a result of maternity or paternity, we're here to act on your behalf. Resolving a dispute in the context of a new parenthood often requires a great deal of diplomacy. New and expectant parents already have a lot to deal with and might find that a forthright approach to the dispute – such as may be appropriate in for example a contract or bonus dispute – are not appropriate here. We'll work with you to identify the options available to you and your preferred strategy. However, where your employer is clearly breaching your rights, we can offer all of the guidance and legal help you might need. If you believe that your maternity or paternity rights are being infringed, you should talk to one of our experienced employment solicitors right away. Call us on 0330 041 5869or contact us and we'll call you.
