done what needs to be done.

* Employment queries - As many of the rights referred to in this
toolkit apply only to employees, it is important for an employer to
establish the employment status of a member of staff. These pages
explain whether this likely to be an issue for you.

* Glossary of terms - explain the technical terms such as Ordinary
Maternity Leave and Statutory Maternity Pay.
