redundant while pregnant

[villa_fan007]

what happens if you are made redundant while pregnant.
does the company have to pay the maternity leave as well as your redundancy money.

I wouldn't have thought so, as you are no longer employed by them. Presumably, you will get maternity pay up to the date of your redundancy.

Hi there,

I don't have an answer to your question but I have some good sources. The organisations that could help you there are CAB (Citizens' Advice Bureau) or ACAS. Directgov also has documents on employment rights online.

Good luck!
