This could be a long one, so please bear with me...
My SIL is expecting her first DS in June and currently works for a car dealership as a salesperson. Since telling her employer about the pregnancy they've been dreadful - making her change her days off to go for her scans, telling her she couldn't have time off for midwife appointments (and that she should make them for her days off - Sundays! - or after work, when she finishes at 6) and just generally being awful towards her. I am so angry on her behalf that she is being treated like this, and have told her she is being discriminated against and should bring a case against them.
The latest is that they've forced her to sign an agreement which states that she must return the car they provide her with as part of her job (a demo car which usually changes every 3 months as part of her job) for inspection or sale with 72 hours notice from their side otherwise they would take this benefit from her. However, the issue is she's moving to live near her family which is a 3.5hr drive away (on a good day) and if they're going to be as twuntish as they have been so far, they could be asking her to bring it back every week for "inspection" which seems incredibly unreasonable to me and hell on earth if you end up with a DS like mine who hates being in the car and is capable of screaming for a whole 2 hour journey.
My question is whether anyone knows if this all above board and just something she'll have to deal with if she wants to keep the car, or does anyone think she has any sort of argument against this?
Any advice gratefully received!
