As part of our 2022 Activist Summer School, we’re running a one-day law course on maternity and paternity rights.
What will this course help me to do?
- Advise members of their maternity and parental rights;
- understand current statutory rights;
- understand the law relating to maternity and parental rights;
- identify opportunities for negotiating improvements to contractual agreements.
Can I get time off to learn?
Yes, if you are in a recognised workplace the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 and the 1997 Safety Representative and Safety Committee Regulations give you the right to time off with pay to attend trade union courses. You just have to give your employer reasonable notice.
Guidance towards establishing what constitutes reasonable time off can be found in the ACAS Code of Practice.
