Can they do this ? I work for a small retail outlet. They requested 2 weeks ago that I reduce my hours by Half (!), they gave 2 reasons - 1) because of downturn in sales, 2) because of the need to train up a new member of staff to cover maternity leave.
I declined on the basis that I felt it was unfair, in a meeting last thursday. (I then got a shedload of emotional blackmail and vitriole from my boss about how it would be all my fault if the business went under but I guess that's another story)
Am now due to have a meeting on thurs and after working today, I am left with the distinct impression that I'm going to be made redundant.
If they do, what questions should I be asking, and more importantly what should I say ! I do feel that this is definitely to do with my pregnancy and if I am dismissed I will plan to put in a discrimination claim, but should I make this clear in the meeting ? Not that I have ANY idea about hw to go about making a claim !
Sorry for the long post... I'd appreciate any help anyone can give..
