Ok I work for a large national supermarket and I'm confused, I have been off sick since 14 weeks pregnant with pregnancy related problems (pregnancy induced hypertension). I phoned personell yesterday after consultant appointment to tell them what's happening and personel told me as I am goin to be sick until due date (booked csection at 39 weeks) they are going to force me to take my holiday or move my maternity leave start date forward. I wanted to start my maternity leave 11 weeks before baby due but they want to bring it forward to may! I'm only taking 9 months off and was going to use my holiday in the march 2015 as I'm getting married, I went on the equality and human rights website and it looks like they can't do what she said they were going to do and if I was sick in last 4 weeks before due date then they can but I'm taking mat leave at 11 weeks before. Me and personell manager do not get on and collegues I spoke to have said she's scaring me into saying yes! Help ps soz for long rant!
