Redundancy and Maternity Protection
Show your support
I myself haven't but 4 women from my company have gone through similar scenarios. 3 of them sued the company and got a huge compensation. The fourth didn't sue just had it out with HR who gave her a small compensation. I suggest you talk to an employment lawyer immediately.
@Valentina you are also still protected under employment law so don't let them stress you out! Do consult with an employment lawyer.
@Valentina I think the fact you’re pregnant over rides the fact you haven’t worked for them for 2 years yet. It’s such a horrible thing to be going through. I’m so sorry to hear they are being so difficult about it.
@Yvonne thank you. I’ve spoken to Acas today and I’m contacting a lawyer tomorrow.
You totally are protected unless it’s part of company restructuring and they are making others redundant x
@Kasia they are making others redundant but Acas and the lawyer have said I’m still protected by the maternity protection x
My lawyer said I have low chances to get anything from them lol
@Valentina I’m surprised by that! Mine have said I have a case for unfair dismissal and maternity discrimination since the maternity protection hasn’t been adhered to and you’d be covered by that same maternity protection.
Im in very similar situation! Because I haven’t been in the organisation for over 2 years I’m not sure if is much that I can do and I’m pregnant with my second baby. The organisation has over 26.000 employees and they haven’t offered me a job! They just want me out and they don’t care. I’m in sick leave atm due to the stress but they are making my life miserable even if in sick leave.
