McGrigors is considering a number of changes to its employee benefits system relating to the firm's maternity leave and sick pay policies.

The firm is proposing the introduction of bonuses for mothers who return to work early, as well as a new policy which will allow the firm to reduce the pay of women who take a second period of maternity leave within 18 months of their last.

The consultation, which was announced to the firm's employees in an email sent out earlier this week (13 September), is due to be concluded within two weeks.
