I've been on maternity leave for a year, i got paid smp from work until october, im an agency worker on 0 hours contract. i always had in mind and got told too that i would accrue holidays during this time. today my employer told me i haven't got none. this is weird or they are right?
And plus i've asked them if i could work 2 days a week 10 until 18. they said it's ok but in 3 months i would need to go back to my normal shift 5 days a week from 22 till 6 am... which is definitely not suitable with a baby at home. i breastfeed and they don't give me an option to express milk ( i don't want opinions saying baby is too big for breast milk, i will do as i please)
can they do this or am i being taken as a mug? if i'm agency on 0 hours, and i can't have holidays, i thought at least i could work the shift i've worked through all my pregnancy
