| It appears as though the
self employed will become entitled to
maternity leave for the first time under
new laws introduced by the European Union
(EU).
The new rules provide equivalent access
to maternity leave as for employees but on
a voluntary basis. The EU is expected to
adopt the legislation at the end of June
and then EU countries will have two years
to introduce it into national law.
So…watch this space.
