Now that maternity leave law has been extended how will the Research Councils policy be amended to meet these changes?
The research organisation as employer is primarily responsible for meeting legal provisions on maternity pay and leave for its staff and the RO cannot delegate that responsibility to a third party. It is the Research Councils intention to work with universities to ensure that legal provisions are met, that the rights and the welfare of the individual are protected and that the needs of both the employer and the research sponsor are taken into account.
