A pregnant employee is entitled to be transferred to an 'appropriate safe job'. An appropriate safe job is a job that has:
- the same ordinary hours of work as the employee's present position, or
- a different number of ordinary hours that the employee agrees to. This entitlement applies if the employee has provided evidence (for example a medical certificate) that would satisfy a reasonable person that:
- they are fit for work, but
- it is inadvisable for them to continue in their present position during a period because of:
- -illness or risks arising out of the pregnancy, or
- -hazards connected with that position. If there is an appropriate safe job available, the employee must be transferred to that job for the risk period (until it's safe to go back to their normal job or until they give birth), with no other change to the employee's terms and conditions of employment.
