Belfast council workers who have premature babies could be given extended leave under new plans.If fully approved, mothers of premature babies will not start maternity leave until the child's due date.according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
The plan would mean any leave required from the delivery date will be defined as compassionate leave and not affect a council employee's right to full parental leave. The council's legal representative told the chamber that the committee was asked to agree the motion "in principle" pending a report by council officers looking at "financial and other implications".
At present, all eligible employees in the UK have a statutory right to 52 weeks maternity leave but maternity leave and pay cannot be extended if a baby is born prematurely.
