Most of my antenatal classes are in the evening so I won't need any time off for them - but for some reason the first one is scheduled on a weekday afternoon so I'll need a bit of time off. I gave 6 weeks notice of this. I've just been called into my manager's office and asked to explain what the classes are - and was asked whether they were NHS or "privately paid ones you've chosen to attend". I said they were NCT ones and the manager basically said "when my friends have been pg they've had classes at the weekend" so I explained that unfortuantely in my area that isn't offered. The manager then said she'd have to check this with HR.
My understanding was that I am entitled to paid leave to attend antenatal appointments and classes... surely it doesn't matter whether the antenatal classes are NHS or NCT?
Thanks for any advice!
