Google suggests that the qualifying period (ie. the amount of time you must have been in a job) for you to be able to envoke an employment tribunal is 12 months. That might have something to do with this.....maybe.....

Female employees get extra maternity leave after 1 year by the looks of it.

There may be more, but I'm not an employment law specialist by any stretch of the imagination - the thing to remember though is that the employer wouldn't be doing this unless it benefited them more than it benefits your friend.
