The Maternity Leave Agreement is essential for documenting and formalizing maternity leave arrangements between employers and employees in England and Wales. It should be used when an employee announces their pregnancy and intends to take maternity leave. The agreement covers statutory requirements under UK employment law, including leave duration, pay arrangements, notice periods, and return-to-work conditions. It helps ensure compliance with relevant legislation while providing clarity and protection for both parties throughout the maternity period.
