Maternity Leave in a Criminal Justice Workplace

Introduction

I have studied several cases associated with maternity leave at criminal justice workplace I identified that workplace hazards can affect pregnancy significantly in early stage; however it is important to think about the health of women at workplace.

According to law an employer, as part of their normal risk assessment must consider if any work is likely to present a particular risk to pregnant women. However women should inform her employer about her pregnancy as early as possible so that they can identify if any further actions are needed.
