This is more of a 'is my boss being unreasonable'
I started my maternity leave in July and gave birth to my daughter in august, I've planned to take the full year off.
As I work as a pa for a small company, I deal with every bit of paperwork and accounts etc. Before leaving I left my boss a spreadsheet of what I do on a day to day basis detailing absolutely everything so either 1. He would do it or 2. Get someone else in to do it.
However I did say to him that once the baby is born and if he really needed my help I'd do a few hours from home here and there.
When my daughter was 3 weeks old he texted me asking me to do some work , but at that same time realised my laptop had packed up and I only have an iPad as an alternative (which does not support the kind of stuff that I need to be doing) I explained this to my boss expecting him to provide me with one of works laptops (it's a computer company) but he asked me to come in and said I can bring baby. I did this and did 3 hours work .
Now he is texting me saying that i need to sort paperwork for accountants and that this urgent? He knows I have 2 children and I explained I've had a bit of a mad week 1. Eldest daughter sprained her ankle at gymnastics then 2. baby come down with a cold and cough. This adding on to no sleep you can imagine how I'm feeling. Anyway after explaining all of this , he said can I get a baby sitter sorted asap to go in (not asking how my baby is or anything)
And he hasn't even paid me for the hours I did last month (not a lot but that's not the point)
So I need some advice? Is he being u???
And how do I handle this without causing friction for when I see him next?
Thanks and sorry for the long post!!
