Businesslink has launched a new online interactive tool covering maternity in the workplace to help small businesses understand their obligations and employee entitlements.

Research by the Equal Opportunities Commission indicates that half the respondents felt managers didn’t understand how to manage pregnancy in the workplace. Businesslink’s guide aims to help.

Users are guided through a series of questions which aim to provide help on a range of issues including maternity pay, leave and flexible working.

The interactive questionnaire can be found at: Business link
