Maternity & Pregnancy - the Ifs and Buts in Employment Law
Pregnancy and maternity protections have formed the fundamental basis of the protection of women's place in the labour market throughout the fight for women's employment rights. Maltese employment legislation allows female workers a significant degree of protection from abusive, discriminatory and retaliatory behaviour in such situations, whilst providing them with certainty in terms of their job security.
That said, these same protective measures are often the root cause of many an industrial dispute. Drafted in such a way as to deviate from the default rules laid down by employment legislation, pregnancy and maternity protections regularly result in insurmountable issues of interpretation or application. Moreover, the law may not always be relied upon to provide clear-cut answers to your headaches, and so judicial interpretation, custom, and even professional experience must more often than not be looked into and relied upon.
During this webinar, Dr Roselyn Borg and Dr Patrick Farrugia will be guiding you through the basic pregnancy and maternity protections found in local employment law, whilst also discussing useful tips and tricks on how to tackle conundrums which human resources professionals commonly face in this ambit. Participants will also have the opportunity to share their experiences and ask questions on the topics at hand, so apply now and book your space to participate!
Webinar will be delivered via Zoom.
