Employees on additional maternity or adoption leave are entitled, like employees taking ordinary leave, to the benefit of all the non-remuneration terms and conditions of employment that would have applied if they had not been absent. The amendments apply to employees with an expected week of childbirth on or after 5 October 2008, and those with a child expected to be placed with them for adoption on or after this date.
