What happens to an employee on maternity leave when the employer goes into receivership?

When an employer goes into receivership, the treatment of employees on maternity leave can vary depending on the jurisdiction and specific circumstances. Generally, maternity leave is a protected right, and employees may retain their entitlement to return to their position or a comparable one after their leave. However, if the company is unable to continue operations, maternity leave may not guarantee job security, leading to potential redundancy. Employees should seek advice from legal or employment representatives to understand their rights in such situations.
