Student in need of help - How maternity Rights Impact on women's success at work

[Studentinneedofhelp]

Hi,

I am currently conducting my MSc Dissertation on 'Have maternity laws gone too far to the point that they are now becoming counter productive and doing more harm to womens careers than good?'

I will shortly be writing my questionnaires to send them out to both employers and female employers, however before I do this it would be great if to get an idea on the sorts of questions I should ask.

I would appreciate it if I could get some of your views and experiences about maternity leave in the work place.

Thank you

Hi everyone, I need some advise. I am currently 22 weeks pregnant, and applied for a job with the NHS afew months back, before I knew I was pregnant. I was given the job but not a start date due to my CRB. My CRB has now arrived and I am begining to show (baby due in July). Do I stay with my current employer who is also NHS,and go on maternity with them, and ask if I could defer my start date with the new employer till after maternity. The new job is what I really want to do, is there a chance that I could loose the new job cos am half way through my pregnancy. Pls advise, thanks.
