How Many Hours Can Pregnant Women Work by Law?

  • Legally, pregnant women can continue to work the average 40 hours a week or the hours that they were working previously. However, a pregnant employee must only continue to work these hours if it is safe to do so, physically and emotionally. If a pregnant employee can’t continue to perform their role safely, then their hours could be reduced or changes must be made.

How Does Maternity Leave and Maternity Pay Work?

  • In the UK, maternity leave and maternity pay are statutory, and therefore if you qualify to receive this, your employer is legally required to pay you the specific amount and allow you the specific amount of time off. Therefore, it is important to understand what you are entitled to regarding your maternity leave and maternity pay.
