    Hi - does anyone know how much notice my wife has to give her employer that she is pregnant ? Is there a minimum amount ? There's nothing in the handbook .. Also any idea where I can get info on if we can get some benefits if she wants to take additional time off after maternity leave

    Thanks for any help

    I think she has to give a minimum of four weeks notice of her intention to go on maternity leave; as well as provide them with a doctors cert stating her estimated due date. Each employer's policies may be different though - it should state the policy in her contract/employee handbook. If she's in doubt she could contact HR and ask them to keep it confidential.
    As for info on benefits etc, citizens information are a good start : http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/

    Four weeks before she intends to commence maternity leave is the rule. Its also recommended that if anything in the job might pose a risk that she inform the employer so changes to the role can be made, e.g. heavy lifting.
