This month we focus specifically on the proposals for new maternity provisions in Guernsey and Jersey. We take a look at the implications for both islands and give some practical examples of how the proposed statutory maternity provisions would apply in the workplace.

If you need more information on the proposals, or any employment-related advice, please get in touch with Emma Parr and her team - we're only too happy to help.

And would you help us, please?

Colette Hunt gives some tips on what their policy might include.
