Yes. You’ll still have the same rights as you would if you were in your normal line of employment. For example, you would still be able to bring a claim (if you meet the requirements) for unfair dismissal, you would still be entitled to a redundancy payment and statutory sick pay, as well as maintaining your maternity rights. These are a few examples and you should seek legal advice as soon as possible if you have any concerns about your employer’s behaviour towards you.\r PLEASE NOTE: this information was correct at 22/04/2021
