What notice does an employee need to give when taking maternity leave?

Your employee must notify you by the end of the 15th week before her baby is due (when she is about 25 weeks’ pregnant). Even when she has given you the date that she wants her maternity leave to start, she still has the right to change her mind, but must notify you of any changes at least 28 days before.
