Hello,
I’m hoping someone with a legal/HR background can help with some advice (I’ve name changed not to out myself).
I have been with my company for about 5 years. I like the job and get on well with my team and manager. The “problem” is that I am 3 months pregnant (yay!) and am having a difficult pregnancy. I have had about 30 days sick leave so far. My manager knew from very early on that my sickness was pregnancy related (I didn’t try to cover this up).
Yesterday she told me the company won’t give me any more paid sick leave (its all been paid until now). There’s no problem with me being off sick but it will be unpaid from now on. I was understandably very upset (and pregnancy hormones!) and left crying.
I check and my contract says I get paid for the first 7 days of any absence. I read this as meaning that I can have 7 days sick, come back in for a day or two, and then go off sick again for another 7 days. I think this should all be paid.
Can anyone advice me on this?
It’s really stressing me out (which isn’t making me feel any less poorly!)
Thank you
