Hi,
I am 27 weeks pregnant and have decided to go private for the birth of my baby.
I am currently employed full time on a contract, which finishes two weeks before my due date.
As soon as I told them of my pregnancy, they made it immeadiately clear my contract would not be extended (that had previously been the plan, but I have nothing in writing) and hired someone else to do my job This other person has now started and we are in a period of 'handover'.
I have been allowed to take time off my midwife appointments so far, but this has been begrudging and I've been asked more times than I care to remember to 'keep them out of work hours' which is impossible on the NHS.
Anyway, I've decided to go private but I think that some of my appointments may still fall within work hours - though with much less hassle... Am I still allowed to take work time off even for private appointments? I'm wondering if I should even bother to tell them?
Thanks for the advice!
