Hi All, looking for some advice.
I had a miscarriage in May 2015 and had 2 weeks off work following a difficult EPRC operation. My work only allow 8 days illness in any 12 month rolling period and conducted a attendance management hearing when I returned to work. They decided to take no further action as I had only had 3 days off in the 12 months prior to this. I am now pregnant again (over 24 weeks) and due to a lung infection have had a further 4 days off along with a 1.5 day absence due to a cold back in october. I have been told that I will have to go through another attendance management hearing due to continuing to trip the 8 day rule. Is this all correct? the reason I've ended up with the lung infection is that the doctors didn't want to prescribe antibiotics early on due to me being pregnant! (I'm now on antibiotics after ended up in A&E with breathing problems!) am feeling pretty down about work at the moment. I've worked for them for 17 years and have never had a sickness problem, only now that I'm pregnant. I work in local government by the way.
