I recently started a part time job in early August (I think) I didn't find out right at the start that I was pregnant so when I did I was nervous to tell my employer...when I emailed the boss to tell her she said it was fine and didn't ask me anything...until last week! She came to inspect my work and asked how I was getting in - I had recently been in hospital due to my asthma getting worse - to which I said I was okay and she asked how many weeks I was and I told her 25. Then when she was inspecting my work she was picking up on anything and everything - things that I have never been told to do before so wasn't aware I had to do them; she said the owner of the building won't be happy and he will start asking for people to be replaced.
That night around midnight she sent an email to say I must meet her this week to discuss laws around maternity and what she found when she inspected my work.
My partner also works there with me on a self employed basis and weeks ago I told my employer I needed a certain date off because I had to go to a hospital appointment that leaves me unable to drive and my partner was going away to see family which he RARELY sees! Today she emailed me saying we can't both have the same time off cos we work together!
Also I was supposed to of been paid this morning and the wage isn't right, she doesn't send my wage slips as often and she is supposed to.
I have asked for all my wage slips this month so then I can check, but with the way she is being it's almost like she is trying to find reasons for me not to work there.
Does anyone know what rights I have when it comes to maternity?
