Is it mandatory to undergo a specific health check during pregnancy?

If you're pregnant, your employer is required to offer you a specific health check to help assess any risks at work. This check is not mandatory, but we strongly recommend completing it. It helps identify whether any adjustments should be made to your workplace or role to protect your health and your baby's well-being.

If you're based in Spain, please make sure to let us know about your pregnancy by your 6th month. This allows us to arrange the legally required risk assessment and health check on time, as outlined by Spanish labor laws.
