Hi there,
Just wondering if this is the norm, two of my colleagues have chosen to self isolate for the 12 weeks because they are pregnant. I completely agree with them no point taking any risks. But we work for a massive retailer who frankly has dealt with this very poorly. They have stated that the government website says Women who are pregnant with significant heart disease, congenital or acquired. So unless they have them underlying problems they will get unpaid. We have now been closed due to the lockdown however we also own a massive supermarket brand so are offered shifts there which means the girls can't even go on furlough and are putting themselves even more at risk. We are not even allowed to use our holiday entitlement up, no holiday to be given at all.
Is this the norm? How are your company's dealing with this?
