Pregnant
women and new mothers could receive up to two years of legal protection against
redundancy, with new protections being extended for an additional six months
after their return to work, the government has announced.
The
improved redundancy protection also covers those employees taking adoption or
shared parental leave, to ensure staff are protected from discrimination
regardless of gender or circumstance.
