Had a very similar case and it all got very sticky because of amount of absence from work, advice from clinic (eg avoid stress while going through process, inc scans etc) and what the employer expected the lady to do (eg attend for work on occasion) Long long story but in light of European law looks like from the moment of implantation she should be treated as a pregnant worker and your normal policy would kick in. Caused us all sorts of issues as our officers are expected to be operationally fit (similar issues I would suspect in police/fire service) I have loads of stuff at the office that I can forward tomorrow if needed.

Fitness for work only say that women in hightrain jobs have reduced fertility. This lady works in a Bakery and therefore has to unload and load shelves as well as pull cages etc.My thinking is to ask for rstricted manual handling as a precaution (would like to find evidence for this) but for how long etc. I would appreciate any help in pointing me in the right direction Thank you in advance Janet******************************** Please remove this footer before replying.
