Question: “A pregnant employee has asked for time off to attend relaxation classes at her local clinic. Do we have to allow her time off? If so, do we have to pay her wages?”
HR Tip: Yes, indeed you do. A woman who is pregnant is entitled to a reasonable amount of paid time off work to attend antenatal clinic and medically recommended relaxation classes.
