Can I take action against my employer whilst I am still working for them?

[SkylinesTurnstiles]

I feel like I have been treated unfairly since I have been pregnant and I’m at the end of my tether now.
I go on maternity leave in January.
AIBU to start action against them now? Would they just make my life a misery until I go on maternity leave? Shall I just wait until January?
I did have intentions of returning to work for this company once my maternity leave is finished in Jan 2022. I take it that would be off the table too?

Broadly, you need to bring a claim within 3 months of any act of discrimination (assuming this is what you are alleging). So no, don't wait. You can bring a claim of discrimination whilst still working for them.

Brilliant, that’s all I wanted to know.
Thank you very much.

OP I'm not saying you wont get correct/good advice here but this is your life and sounds like what you do now could affect you quite considerably, please don't rely on posts here to make decisions, you might be better seeking legal advice - even CAB might have some info for you?

Yes you need to get on with it, but do it with a mindset of resolution and remedial action over anything else. Do you have a HR department?

Do you want to stay in your job and return after mat leave?

Get proper legal advice from an employment lawyer.

See Pregnant Then Screwed for proper advice

Tbf the poster was right. There is 3 month limit to bring the claim to tribunal. It obviously depends whether it's one incident or if it's ongoing. The latter is shittier but gives better chance to take it to tribunal.

However, the poster 2 is also right about not just trusting randoms on the net so here you go

You go through ACAS first, not direct to tribunal

Your first step needs to be a grievance. Have you done this? I hope you're a union member.

Not an union member unfortunately.
It’s a small office of about 8.
I will check out all the links, thank you everyone.

I am actually an employment solicitor. But the pps are right, you should take rl advice.

Yes. Go and check your grievance procedure. Keep a record of everything.
